Nevermind... it seems that isn't my problem (I googled, and that's what 
I came up with, but it was wrong)

Now I can't get /home to mount at /home -- but I'll keep plugging away 
at it. :)

(My users CAN authenticate via NIS now, I just have to figure out how to 
mount /home)

Thanks for reading, sorry for polluting the list,
