yes, indeed.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home   /home   nfs  etc...

i made /nfs/home and did the
mv /home /home.sav
ls -n /home /nfs/home
added the
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home   /home   nfs  etc...
to /etc/fstab file.
everything in the remote ./tchsrc works except the lines:
echo -n "\033]0;${HOST}:$cwd\007"
alias cd 'chdir \!*; echo -n "\033]0;${HOST}:$cwd\007"'.

these lines modify the terminal title.  like i said, when within
a telnet login session it works but within nis login it won't. both logins
show same remote .tcshrc file ("cat .tcshrc").  maybe, i am wrong but this 
is what i see.
my local passwd file has no such userid.  maybe nsswitch.conf 
related.......???
