	I may be missing something here, but why dont you just add
the USERS you want to be able to log onto the system into the /etc/passwd
file of the server. Then use the following in /etc/nsswitch.conf:

passwd:     files 
group:      files nisplus

	Notice that the passwd field has *NO* nisplus anywhere in it. This 
would mean you must have an account for each person on the server, but it
seperates the nisplus users from the privleged.

Hope that helps.
