I'm trying to setup NIS on a small test network of 3 boxes, a NIS
master, slave and client.
The idea is to only allow certain users to login to certain machines.

and the stock /etc/passwd (no users added after OS installation)
on the client has the 1 netgroup added to the bottom +@root-users
ypcat passwd on the client shows *all* the accounts in the /etc/passwd
on the master. How do I see the logical join of the client's
local /etc/passwd and the +@root-users from the NIS maps ?
When/where does the expansion of the +@ stuff occur?
ypbind,ypserv,ypxfrd and rpc.yppasswdd are running on the master,
ypbind and ypserv on the slave and just ypbind on the client.
Make in /var/yp on the master ran successfully and pushed the maps
to the slave.
