you also mention that yoda is in /etc/hosts.  is it also in your nis
hosts map?  if so, are the two entries both correct?  possibly the local
one is wrong, and you're able to mount when the correct(?) entry is
available via nis.  just a thought.  you might want to look at your
/etc/nsswitch.conf file.

agreed.  you could also bypass by doing a mount in /etc/rc.local, or
somewhere similar, as this is sourced just before login.  you are then
effectively doing a manual mount automatically.
