groups for every available nis user should give
"users" "audio" "plugdev". but the users provided
by the NIS server are only in group "users".

so I'm looking for something in /etc/group like this:
"audio:x:29:localuser1:localuser2:+*"
where +* should mean all NISusers.
now "groups anynisuser1" should give "users audio".

or is something else possible, like putting one group in
another group? like:
/etc/group "audio:x:29:users"?
to put all people who are in the group "users"
additionally in the audio group?

thanx for helping.
