Using +: breaks logging in.  The connection will close.  I tried without
changing /etc/group.  ls -als shows the group as designated in my /etc/group
according to the number given by NIS.  I fixed my /etc/group to have the same
entry as yp but no dice.  Permission denied.  The gid is 9, the man group.
