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.
George
