 	I am new to freebsd but I am not new to unix. I recently installed
freebsd and wanted to try and make it as much a part of our network of
sun workstations as possible. We are running NIS and I wanted to restrict
access to the machine from most of the student accounts that we have here.

I added the lines to the /etc/master.passwd and made the db's but it didn't 
work as it should have.

Here are the lines that I added.

+@staff::0:0::::::
+::65534:65534:::::::/usr/new/misc/message

This is some what the same that we have on our suns, and it works there,
but for some reason on my bsd box, it doesn't work quite right. It gives 
everyone /usr/new/misc/message as the shell.

Anyone run into this problem?
