OK, so pull libnss_compat out of the nis directory, build and install

and make sure it throws a sensible error if it encounters a forwarding
directive and the forwarded-to module isn't available?


The only problem is that compat-pwd and compat-spwd need to refer to
yp_get_default_domain, for netgroup matches ([+-]@netgroup).

Could the code call uname directly instead? As far as I can tell,yp_get_default_domain is just a thin wrapper around getdomainname, whichis again a wrapper around uname.


Thanks,
Florian
