NIS. There had been problems with groups distribution before, because
somebody had assigned group IDs <100 that the NIS config considered a
security risk to distribute, so the workstations never knew these groups.
But that's not the problem here, both on the server and on the
workstation I get the same numeric IDs and the same names; "ypcat group"
also lists the "secure" group as it should. I guess that should rule out
any NIS problems, right?
