Are you sure there isn't a comma between these two?
Also, the NIS-HOWTO makes a reference to using "+@this_machine_users". Do
you know when you should use the `+' and when you should not?

Why are you adding your own machine to the netgroup?
> kong (kong,,)
> tancred (tancred,,)
> vic (vic,,)
Is there any reason to create netgroups with only one machine?
Also, the NIS-HOWTO gives an example like:
sysadmins (-,software,) (-,kukuk,)
which is different from how you have done it.

Isn't netgroup a function of NIS? Are you using, or required to use NIS?
What is the contents of your /etc/nsswitch.conf, with respect to netgroup?
Is it `nisplus', as is the default, or `nis'?
Where did you get the syntax from? I understand there were several glibc
problems specifically with NIS, but were fixed in the latest versions.
Did you install the latest from the RH updates?
You say that mounts from tancred work fine, yet mounts from kong don't.
WHich mounts are you talking about, or all of them? Are you sure it isn't
a hostname problem? If vic can't resolve kong, or it resolves to a
different domain, it will fail.
