I'm trying to setup NIS on a small test network of 3 boxes, a NIS
master, slave and client.

The idea is to only allow certain users to login to certain machines.
The plan is to tailor the /etc/passwd file on different boxes to 
contain only the netgroups of users who are allowed there.

For example master has /etc/netgroups containing
 
root-users  (,foo,), (,bar,), (,baz,)

and the stock /etc/passwd (no users added after OS installation)
on the client has the 1 netgroup added to the bottom +@root-users

ypcat passwd on the client shows *all* the accounts in the /etc/passwd 
on the master.  How do I see the logical join of the client's
local /etc/passwd and the +@root-users from the NIS maps ?
When/where does the expansion of the +@ stuff occur?

ypbind,ypserv,ypxfrd and rpc.yppasswdd are running on the master,
ypbind and ypserv on the slave and just ypbind on the client.

Make in /var/yp on the master ran successfully and pushed the maps
to the slave.

ypcat passwd on the
