The workaround is to create a local user on the NIS client machine for each user of netscape. I believe the problem occurs because the netscape binary is linked static, and there is some incompatibility between BSDI and FreeBSD concerning NIS support. The netscape mail client sucks anyway, might it be possible to hook in another client to respond to a mailto: URL event?
