Hello All,
  I'm setting up NIS on a server and a few workstations.  We have
a large number of users for the server and a small number for the
workstations.  We are running C2.  Also, this is my first exp. w/
NIS.  BTW, this list (archive) has already proven VERY helpful 
on this matter.
  After using the nissetup script I find that /var/yp/src/passwd 
has most of the users from /etc/passwd.  Now they don't work (can't
login to the client) because they don't have an entry in 
/var/yp/src/prpasswd.  That's ok I know how to fix this.
  Question: Can I remove (w/ vi) the entries in /var/yp/src/passwd
that I don't want to be in the NIS database?  I know I still have to
create the entries in the /var/yp/src/prpasswd.  I'll do that w/
either edauth or dxaccounts.
Thanks in advance,
odk
