You need to add "+" entries to the bottom of these files for NetBSD to 
search YP if it can't find the answer in the /etc files.  I think just 
"+" will work in /etc/group, but in /etc/passwd, you'll probably have to 
use vipw, and add : characters after the + so it thinks there are the 
right number of fields in the database...
