Hi,

I just set up an NIS domain and I noticed that cronjobs only run for
users who are also defined locally. For users that are only defined
in the NIS maps, there is an error claiming "no passwd entry."

Is there any way to get crond to look at the NIS maps as well as the
passwd files?

Thanks,
bye.
