whenever I add a user in grml, I get the following error:

I've never see this before, and would like to know why adduser need to do some rpc calls/connections.
Because you might run userauth via NIS. You didn't notice this before because Debian runs portmapper by default - which grml doesn't.
Ahh, no wonder, thanks for the explanation. Any quick fix?
PS. I didn't touch any userauth or NIS setting after the HD installation.
thanks
PPS. I don't have any package that begins with yp installed.
