[H-GEN] NIS client stuff

Hi,

I'm trying to implement NIS and i'm having some troubles.  I'm trying to
get the client to map a different shell/home directory to that of the
server.  As far as I understand... I should be able to put the following
into the /etc/passwd file of the client

+:*:::::/bin/bash
+:*::::/home/somewher/else:

or similar, although, this doesn't seem to work

any tips.. rtfms etc... would be great

Cheers
Craig
