Thanks to David Foster, Jay Lessert and Ric Anderson. There were couple of suggestions, both indication that I pretty well have to run NIS/NIS+ in some form to be able to use the /etc/netgroup facility. Ric Anderson pointed me to a software written by John DiMarco at the University of Toronto, called ngrfiles. A copy can be obtained from: ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/ngrfiles/ You install John's ngrfiles, edit the "netgroup: " field in /etc/nsswitch.conf, create the list of hosts you need to export to in /etc/netgroups/ and way you go ! No need for that bothersome NIS stuff. Pretty cool, John. Thanks.
