SYMPTOMS
In Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) 3.0, if you run the ypcat command against the &quot;netgroup.byuser&quot; or &quot;netgroup.byhost&quot; map, the results may be incomplete. This might cause a UNIX client not to be able to use network resources if the client's logon process depends on parsing the results of the command.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if the &quot;netgroup.byuser&quot; or &quot;netgroup.byhost&quot; map contains a hyphen (-) or a null entry (&quot;&quot;).



WORKAROUND
Use the ypcat command to query the &quot;netgroup&quot; map. Group the results by user. You can also use the ypmatch command against the &quot;netgroup&quot; map to obtain the same results.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
