Authentication using NIS password database

Can anybody tell me how to set up pgsql authentication using NIS password database?

I set my pg_hba.conf as following:

host    all    10.0.1.0    255.255.255.0    ident    sameuser

But I'm still getting "user does not exist" error. Any suggestion will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

That is going to use the identd server on your machine, not NIS.
