the vipw entry should be
+:::::::::
the /etc/group entry
+:::
and I put this in /etc/rc.local
if [ -f /etc/defaultdomain ] ; then
domainname `cat /etc/defaultdomain`
fi
dname=`domainname`
if [ -n $dname ] ; then
ypbind
fi
and fixed /etc/defaultdomain accordingly.
ypwhich works for me.
the mail alias stuff doesn't and I have to hack that by hand.
Good Luck,
Boyd
