Of course, I'm sorry... The MINUID and MINGID allow to create passwd.by* only with account which UID are equal or higher than MINUID and group.by* only with groups which GID are equal or higher than MINGID. Extract from a Debian NIS Makefile: # We do not put password entries with lower UIDs (the root and system # entries) in the NIS password database, for security. MINUID is the # lowest uid that will be included in the password maps. # MINGID is the lowest gid that will be included in the group maps. You don't need to copy > /var/yp/master.passwd to edit it; just make the change and run "make". So I would change the original /etc/master.passwd ?????? Is that OK, it looks like it's not.
