NIS between 5.1 & 4.0f?

Hello,

I'm beginning to setup NIS in an attempt to simplify user maintenance
between our servers. I've configured one of my 5.1 servers as the NIS
Master. I am able to add NIS users to other 5.1 boxes w/o problems, but
when I try to add them to my 4.0f boxes, I get this message:
useradd: Add NIS-user, %1 before adding this +/- user

Can I cross versions like this with NIS? If I moved the Master to a 4.0f
server, would the 5.1 clients still be able to work?

All of the servers are running C2.

Thanks,

John Losey
