I got one response from Carsten Hennig <hennig@darmstadt.gmd.de> (Newsgroup
comp.sys.sun.admin) and this solved the problem:
Instead of doing a "make group" you had to simply "make". There is an
additional NIS map called netid, which is built from passwd, group and
hosts. If yo only "make", netid is updated, too. Without the changes in
netid, the new situation cannot be reflected by the system.
Regards,
Carsten Hennig
