The nisnetgrouptriple syntax is described in RFC-2307 as follows:

Values in this syntax are represented by the following:
 nisnetgrouptriple = "(" hostname "," username "," domainname ")"
 hostname          = "" / "-" / keystring
 username          = "" / "-" / keystring
 domainname        = "" / "-" / keystring

See RFC-2307 for examples.
