>Description:

	When I run a Linux app on which uses getpwent and the user is
	only in the NIS passwd file, it doesn't seem to be able to get user
	information

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run applix from a NIS user.  It prints an error message:

		get user name: No such file or directory

	A ktrace shows it attempting to play with NIS but failing miserably.


>Fix:
	
	No idea.
