Thanks very much, that was the first thing I checked.  The plus entries are 
still there, on
the master and the client.

With the new NIS, do I have to put such entries in /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow 
too?  How
does this relate to the doc section "restricting access to the NIS server"?  Do 
I put those
in in the same way?  Didn't have to with the old NIS...

Zeen,
