    Interesting...something that pops into my mind is something obvious
    since it was stated in the handbook, but needs to be said
    anyway...when you add stuff to the master.passwd file, do you re-make
    the database? Also, if you follow the directions in the handbook,
    they suggest you make a different master.passwd file in /var/yp to
    store the accounts that go into nis....I re-wrote the make file
    section for passwd.* and told it to look to /etc/passwd where the UID
    is greater then 1000....and it works great for me...if you'd like a
    copy of the entries in the Makefile, I'll send them to you. It sounds
    like that's what's going on (and I've had endless students make this
    mistake in class as well...it's a common one).
