OK, I did some more investigating. 'ypwhich -m' returns this:
[kim@ripley meetings]$ ypwhich -m netgroup.byuser ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com netgroup.byhost ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com netgroup ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com hosts.byaddr ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com hosts.byname ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com group.bygid ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com group.byname ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com passwd.byuid ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com Can't find master for map netgroup.byuser.db.

Reason: No such map in server's domain I guess it's not finding master maps. /etc/nsswitch.conf has entries like this: passwd: nis files nisplus shadow: nis files nisplus group: nis files nisplus Does this look right?
