A note before I start: I don't use YP, only hesiod!

If you are running NetBSD 1.4 or later you'll need to play with
/etc/nsswitch.conf.  The man page has a lot of info.  You probably
want something like:

	group:          files nis
	hosts:          files nis
	netgroup:       files [notfound=return] nis
	passwd:         files nis

You'll also want to add "dns" to the hosts line if you have any contact
with BIND nameservers.
