How up to date is the Network Information Service provided in FreeBSD, since I know that SUN released their new NIS+ protocol ? Is there any where else I could look for NIS or NIS+ because I might have to do some porting of this code to a new platform under a different kernel(Real-TIme Kernel). Also, I don't remember finding the Network Lock Manager in the FreeBSD sources distribution. Is it proprietory software from SUN or can I find a source for this protocol. Of course this includes such programs as Stat Daemon. I am not completely familiar with this protocol so if you don't mind can you give me any information regarding this. Thanks for all your help ron@maxstrat.com Also, thanks to Stefan Esser for replying to my last question. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Lee Tel: (408) 383-1600 Maximum Strategy, Inc.
