Netgroup/allow hosts problem

Hi,
I'm trying to limit access to pre-defined set of hosts. I already have a
netgroup (in
NIS) defined, which I would like to use.
Now the man pages for samba say that I can do :
hosts allow = @netgroup
When I try this I am asked for a username/password even though the share
has:
public=yes
If I limit the hosts to specific hosts i.e.:
hosts allow = hostname1, hostname2
This works fine (i.e. no password required - access from only the specified
hosts), is
there a problem with using netgroups?
Thanks
Andy
