Okay- I think from what you've said and what Thor said for NetBSD is that this is "supposed to work!" (which accords with what *I* thought too). I'll do some more debugging as I can (I'm in a project deadline for 3 projects this week). But I won't let it go! I was hoping to replace my Solaris box with either FreeBSD or NetBSD as my main home directory server. FreeBSD 4.2 panics part way through the first LADDIS runs I was using to test it with and I can't get NetBSD to start as a LADDIS client (I hadn't got the auth sorted out yet), so I've been trying to scrutinize a lot of things very closely in this area. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
