The syntax:
myclass = ( host1 host2 )
Specifies that host1 and host2 are members of the cfengine class myclass,
while:
myclass = ( +netgr )
Specifies that all hosts in the netgroup netgr are members of the cfengine
class myclass. Neither of these statements modify NIS group memberships;
the latter is just a convenient way to use netgroup definitions in classes.

The nice thing about having a user-adding capability in cfengine would be
that it could (eventually) do the right thing on many systems (Debian, Red
Hat, Solaris, etc.).
