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?
