I am trying to set up a mandrake 7.2 box to use netgroup for
authentication in hosts.allow , etc...

I get this message in /var/log/messages:

Jun  1 06:58:00 fox xinetd[585]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 7:
netgroup support is disabled

OR

Jun  1 11:00:09 fox portmap[378]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 7:
netgroup support is disabled 

I have a feeling that this is contributing to another problem. In
/etc/exports I want to share to my netgroup as well.

ypcat netgroup -k  shows that I have a valid bind (hosts & passwd as
well)

file:
#/etc/exports
/home   @mynetgroup(rw) 

exportfs shows the group...

# exportfs
/home           @mynetgroup      


but machines in the group are denied unless explicitly given rights as in

/home   my.host.here.edu(rw)

ideas? Thanks in advance!
