Preparing /etc/group
For an NIS client,
add the following line to the end of /etc/group:
+:
The ``+'' escape character forces translation of group names and group IDs
not already defined in /etc/group to be made via the NIS maps.
WARNING:
Do not reduce the contents of
/etc/group to the single line ``+:''.
This may cause problems when booting, in single-user state, or when
NIS service is otherwise unavailable. Do not remove standard
group definitions (such as root, bin, sys,
audit, and daemon)
that are required for system administration.
This is the recommended procedure.
Refer to the
group(4)
manual page for more information.
