[CentOS] restricting access to an NIS netgroup

My CentOS system doesn't have a stock password-auth file. I tried creating
one with that line in it, but that didn't work. Also, per some web pages I
found, I tried putting that line into system-auth, but that didn't work
either.

Yes, that is working.

Fortunately, the solution provided on-list by Stephen Harris did work, but
I'm puzzled as to why this isn't.
