-> Marc Lajeunesse <mlajeune at matrox.com>.  But I don't think he means
-> netgroups or anything like that; I think he just means the standard
-> distributed group map (like the passwd map, but for /etc/group).

a moment, NIS group is not equivalent of /etc/group; there's a nis table
called group which has the same meaning, but getgrnam and getpwnam have to
take care about this one. NIS group is something different. HMmm have i look
to the source even to check what groups did he make support for ? :)
