+{TK} The name switch setup in /etc/nsswitch.conf selected by most Linux
+distributions does not support +/- and netgroup entries in the files like
+/etc/passwd.  Though this is the preferred setup some people might have
+setups coming over from the libc5 days where it was the default to recognize
+lines like this.  To get back to the old behaviour one simply has to change
+the rules for passwd, group, and shadow in the nsswitch.conf file as

+passwd: compat
+group:  compat
+shadow: compat

+passwd_compat: nis
+group_compat: nis
