Unfortunately, this did nothing... The passwd(5) man page states:
The simplest way to activate NIS is to add an empty record with only a
plus sign (`+') in the name field, such as this:
+:::::::::
The `+' will tell the getpwent(3) routines in FreeBSD's standard C li-
brary to begin using the NIS passwd maps for lookups.
This does not work. Only those users hardcoded into the local password
file can login. I'm bound to the master YP server, and I can ypmatch my
passwd.byname record all day... but can't login. HELP!
