Good to hear. I missed that detail from your original message; I'd thought you started it with "ypinit -c". That's the _only_ way I've ever configured a NIS client. At a guess, and just a wild one, when you started ypbind manually, you either didn't have the domain set correctly, or didn't have the proper environment set up for it to run. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
