Since it seems that netgroups in /etc/hosts.equiv haven't worked since 1997, and since NIS is anyway a security risk, and further since ssh can do these things in better ways, it seems to me that fixing the bug by adjusting the documentation to mention that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is not, in fact, supported on Debian would be sufficient. Of course, since I've never adminstered NIS, I may have a distorted view of how useful or useless it is.
I have found two places where this would need to be mentioned: in hosts.equiv(5) and sshd(8). There may be others, of course, but I only found these. Would adding words like "In Debian, netgroups in /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/shosts.equiv are not supported." be good enough? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
