I'm wondering if there's any reason why I can't put NIS files in
/var/yp/etc, i.e., /var/yp/etc/hosts, /var/yp/etc/group,
/var/yp/etc/master.passwd.  That last one is a killer, as
rpc.yppasswdd only updates /etc/master.passwd.
Is there any docs on setting up an NIS master under NetBSD?
Is there any way (other than hacking the source) to get rpc.yppasswdd
to use a different master.passwd file?  I'm in a mixed OS environment,
and would rather not broadcast my local accounts on the nis master via
the nis passwd maps.

Replies via email are preferred.

Thanks.
