Description jonny 1999-12-15 16:40:02 UTC
  If you use comments (#) in those files, NIS tries to create tables
with them, instead of ignoring them.

Fix: This patch removes lines with comments before making NIS databases.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Put a # comment in /etc/group, cd /var/yp, make

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Makefile.yp now ignores comments, as you requested.
