To find out what's installed on a Debian box, I often define this function:
function dlgrep() { # dpkg list grep COLUMNS=300 dpkg -l | tr -s '[:blank:]' ' ' | grep $* } ...which you could use thus: dlgrep -i autofs dlgrep -i amd If you have NIS installed you should (by convention) be able to say: ypcat auto.master ...to see which maps are available for your use. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
