[wplug] nis on redhat 7.3

[John Harrold]

Sometime in November Jonathan Billings assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Do you have the proper entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf for passwd, and the 
| other services you want to use NIS?
| 
| Jonathan

that was it. thanks. i've never had to modify that file before. it's redhat
7.3, but it was installed by the guys at penguin. all of the other redhat
boxes (7.2, 7.3, 8.0) have the proper entries for nis. this one only has
db, files, and nisplus. i wonder why they chose to leave nis off?

anyway thanks again.
