RE: (ITS#4670) Problem with nisNetgroupTriple SYNTAX definition according to Sun support

[nneul@umr.edu]

Thanks. I expect it probably is a sun-screwup as we only see the issue
with solaris clients. My concern though is whether this is a case of
"none of the other clients are doing the full netgroupTriple search
functionality"... i.e. is it broke on sun cause the correct definition
isn't sufficient?

I will definately bring up this issue with them again though.
