groupname member-list
Each element in member-list is either another group name or a triple of the form:
(hostname, username, domainname)
The hostname entry must be fully qualified if the specified host is not in the local domain.
The filer can also use the netgroup NIS map.
Since the filer uses netgroups only in /etc/exports (see na_exports(5)), the username entry is ignored. The domainname field refers to the domain in which the netgroup entry is valid. It must either be empty or be the local domain; otherwise the netgroup entry is ignored. An empty entry allows a single /etc/netgroup file to be used for filers in multiple domains.
A group definition can be at most 4096 bytes even when `\'s are used to extend the definition over several lines. The maximum nesting level when group names are used in the member-lists of other groups is 1000.
Modifications to the /etc/netgroup file may take upto 60 seconds to take effect.

The /etc/netgroup configuration does not failover. Thus, the /etc/netgroup files on the active and backup filer must be kept consistent manually.
