sound for nis user

[rtz654]

I also try to set up NIS on my network and found following solution for
this problem:

* make a nis-group audio with a gid 2000
* find / -gid audio -print > /tmp/audio.gid
* delete group audio (local gid 29)
* be sure your nis-group audio with gid 2000 is visible on the client
* cat /tmp/audio.gid | xargs chgrp audio
* now your local files have the gid of audio-group coming from the
nis-server

The next problem is this udev thing, it creates devices dynamically and
you have to take care of this also. But here we have this
chicken-egg-scenario (what was there first) because udev has to get the
groups from somewhere and NIS has to have network access, which starts
way behind... My workaround for this is to created a second startlink
for udev: /etc/rc2.d/S30udev

The idea of putting the nis-users in a local group file is not the
right why, isn´t central user management what we want from NIS... then
you don´t want to change every machines /etc/group file when creating a
new user!

Tell me if it works for you...
