Netgroups not recognized by mountd

Hi managers,
mountd fills the daemon.log file up with messages like:

Apr 11 11:00:05 hal5 mountd[306]: Unknown host ahals in root= option for
path /e/data5b in /etc/exports

the "Unknown host" ahals is a netgroup distributed with NIS. According to
the man page for exports this is an allowed host substitution. On the
other hand exporting works fine for all computers in the netgroup ahals.
Is this a known bug or do I misunderstand something?

Best regards,

Rudi Gabler
