Thanks very much, that was the first thing I checked. The plus entries are still there, on the master and the client. With the new NIS, do I have to put such entries in /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow too? How does this relate to the doc section "restricting access to the NIS server"? Do I put those in in the same way? Didn't have to with the old NIS... Zeen, -Adam P.
