Thank you for the suggestion but I think
that is not very useful to rdist file like group|passwd when
there is a NIS server.
It seems that the only solution is to remove all single-user groups from
the NIS group map. Ex: zoni:*:123:zoni
The only problem is that without the nis map, users get only the numeric
group...
I wonder if it is correct to redifine ls as
ls() { /bin/ls --color=auto --no-group $*}
to have a classic ls behaviour.
ciao,
