netgroup ARE ONLY NIS related, cannot have non-nis netgroup file.
In the nsswitch.conf
netgroup: nis
your dfstab or exports file would have this entry:
share -F nfs -o ro=xyz-hosts /utilities
xyz-hosts is your entry wihin the netgroup nis map
hope this helps
You are talking about a restriction that exists in Solaris (and maybe other Unix systems). The original question was about /etc/netgroup on a filer: there is no such restriction there. Indeed, support for /etc/netgroup on filers long predates that for NIS, etc.
