I thought you said that you _weren't_ getting 'netgroup.byhost' or 'netgroup.byuser.'

If all of the machines are receiving the maps for netgroup, then the problem would not seem to lie with the NIS transfer among the machines, but rather how individual applications use the maps. What happens when you try to use a map in /etc/exports on a FreeBSD machine? What kind of errors are you getting? -- Crist J.
