[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello all, Where are there working directions for adding users under NIS? The instructions in the FreeBSD handbook don't seem to result in added users being propagated out to slaves. And the failure is silent, so I have no idea what I'm really supposed to be doing to make this work. All I know is that added users end up in the main /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd; the -Y option to pw seems to change nothing other than to consume time "updating" (but I don't know what, since the changes I'm looking for don't appear) various maps and "pushing" the maps. And, having evidently done the *wrong* thing, how do I fix the added users so they now appear in NIS?
