I've had yp working for about 8 months but have only recently tried to use the netgroup features. My problem is that while I can use password entries like: +::::::::: and +user::::::::: which work as expected, entries like +@ngroup::::::::: do not. I have uncommented the netgroup entry from the Makefile which causes a netgroup map to be built and pushed. However, there is no provision for creating a .byname and .byhost map as described in the general ref- erences as well and the FreeBSD netgroup man page. I don't know if that's the problem or if the page is obsolete. Is there some additional reference I need to read? Thank You, -greg
