Re: Invalid syntax (21)

Hi Dieter,

I tried several modifications but still couldn't get it working. Can you or anyone else help please? What's wrong with my syntax? Thanks.

The nisnetgrouptriple syntax is described in RFC-2307 as follows:

Values in this syntax are represented by the following:
nisnetgrouptriple = "(" hostname "," username "," domainname ")"
hostname = "" / "-" / keystring
username = "" / "-" / keystring
domainname = "" / "-" / keystring

See RFC-2307 for examples.
