ELM again

I am still trying to configure ELM on my 240GTX.  Now I have run into a problem
with user's whose passwd entry is included by YP(NIS).

Question: Does getpwnam() return a null if the user is a YP user, or should it
          return a pointer to the passwd structure for that user?

I am getting an error message of:

You have no password entry!

For YP users.

In the configuration of ELM there is a question asked if you are using YP or
not & I answered yes to it.  There is a line in config.sh like the following:

passcat='ypcat passwd'

But this is not included in config.h in any form.

ANY HELP/COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED.

Thanks.
