 Hi there-

 What do you mean by an adduser that's compatible with NIS? Just run
adduser on your NIS master, merge the change into the master.passwd file
you have in /var/yp, and remake the maps...

 If you're talking about adding a user on an NIS client machine and having
that entry propogate to all machines in the NIS domain, I don't think
that's possible (although I'm not positive).

Eric
