Not for what he's doing. Client NIS systems can specify which users in
the domain's passwd map are considered valid by using the:
+user::::::
syntax in /etc/passwd, so long as another entry in /etc/passwd sets a
default of no access.
The problem that I'm *guessing* he was running into was that there was
no entry specifying "deny access" as a default in his /etc/passwd, as
in:
+:*:::::/bin/false
--Up.
