Hi, It is not 200k different entries on each machine, it is 200k entries total in the directory as long as all replicas are also sparc machines running solaris 8. The same license does not apply for solaris 9, afaik. http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/package.html Look at the section for solaris 8. Sun has consistently updated the version number in the license every time a new version of the directory server has appeared. There is no good reason to not use solaris 8 and directory 5.1 if you have available sparc hardware. -- Mike - I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
