I'm attempting to use netgroups in the password file but they seem to be ignored to an extent. I have the following in /etc/master.passwd root and other local users +@allowed::::::::: +:::::::::/notallowed Using finger, anyone not in the allowed netgroup shows up with the shell /notallowed, and anyone in the netgroup shows up with their valid shell as expected. When I telnet in, everyone, including those in the netgroup end up with the /notallowed shell and therefore cannot get in. I can use: +person1::::::::: +person2::::::::: +person3::::::::: +:::::::::/notallowed And it works as expected, but it's definitely not ideal. Any ideas? Ron
