Hi,

I suggest the following 2 changes to /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/getgrent.c:

The first one makes the checking for YP less strict (and compatible to
the SunOS implementation).

The second one fixes a kind of a bug, that makes login (and probably some
other programs) dump core, when an incomplete group entry is encountered.

I've hit those problems, when I simply copied our SunOS /etc/groups file
to the NetBSD/sparc I'm setting up. The last line was 
+:
which works fine on SunOS, but prevented me from logging into the NetBSD
system.

Ok, here are is the diff listing:
