Affects: meta-gnome2 gnome (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Logging on as a local user (created at install) gives me the expected "admin" entries under the System->Administration menu like Synaptic and software updates.
When logged on as a network user (NIS) all of the "administrative" type entries are gone from the menus. The NIS ID's netgroup is in sudoers (and can indeed sudo) and is a member of adm, admin, etc (same list of groups as the local user with the same GID's). I'm at a loss as to why menu entries are missing. FWIW this same setup works fine in Breezy.
