It's only the group line that matters -- if I don't change the group line, it's fine. Same thing happens if I add "+:::..." lines to /etc/group. And the tables are perfectly accessible via ypcat, so it's not a problem accessing the nis-server (eg, ypcat -k group works fine).
This has been a problem for years in my lab -- only way I've been able to fix it is to mess with the startup scripts to disable nis first thing during boot and then re-enable in rc.local, which is a PIA when updating etc..
Anybody else seeing anything like this? Anyone using NIS anymore??? Or has everyone switched to LDAP or something else?
Thanks,
