Well, on the con side, the documentation makes no mention of netgroups
or other yp enhancements, while on the pro side, it appears that the
binary does contain a copy of the netgroup object.

	getnetgrent.c	9.1	ULTRIX	12/7/88
	innetgr.c	9.1	ULTRIX	12/7/88

You might try doing your thing on the hosts.lpd file rather than the
hosts.equiv file, assuming that yp has anything to do with hosts.lpd.
