I have had the same problem. The answer I
got from SuSE support, was that this is -
probably - a bug in glibc-2.0.x which is
expected to be fixed in glibc-2.1. In the
mean time I just added the host names to
/etc/hosts.equiv
I don't have problems with netgroups in
/etc/exports
though. You possibly did not check the
file
/etc/nsswitch
which is a new configuration file used
by glibc systems. Mine looks like this:
passwd: files nis
group: files nis
shadow: files nis
hosts: dns nis [!UNAVAIL=return] files
networks: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
netgroup: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
protocols: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
rpc: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
ethers: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
netmasks: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
bootparams: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
publickey: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
services: files nis
automount: files nis
aliases: files nis
Hope this helps,
Ruben
