Hi,

there is one place in the nss nis module, where errno is set if the
group does not exist. Since we never never set errno in this case in
all other modules (and all other places in nss_nis), I propose the
following patch:

2004-03-26  Thorsten Kukuk  <kukuk@suse.de>

	* nis/nss_nis/nis-grp.c (_nss_nis_getgrnam_r): Don't
	set errno if group does not exist.
