Hi,

        How do I setup NIS groups in Debian? I have two machines, one
running up-to-date slink and the other one running hamm (if that matters).
The hamm machine is the NIS server. If I put 

        netgroups:      nis

on /etc/nsswitch.conf on both machines and 

        mygroup (,host-a,) (,host-b,) (,host-c,)

in hamm's /etc/netgroups and then

        /some/fs/       @mygroup

in hamm's /etc/exports, it doesn't work. What's the trick, or does "it's
kind of buggy" mean "doesn't work at all" in the libc6 documentation
regarding NIS groups?

TIA,

                                Marcelo Magallon
