Patch to correct the error message

The instructions in the error message are wrong.

Here's what you get when you try to enable NIS features:

ERROR: Missing parameters. To enable NIS features, the following options have to be given: --nis-domain=, --uidNumber=, --login-shell=, --unix-home=, --gid-number= Operation cancelled.

The patch corrects 'uidNumber' to 'uid-number':

ERROR: Missing parameters. To enable NIS features, the following options have to be given: --nis-domain=, --uid-number=, --login-shell=, --unix-home=, --gid-number= Operation cancelled.
