The rules are:
1. If you want to support a certain operating system/distribution then
don't put any groups/users in NIS that conflict with the default
setup of that operating system/distribution.
2. If you did not follow rule #1 then don't complain when something
breaks.
These rules are not "standard" but just plain common sense.
