Hello! I'm setting up a FreeBSD server for a small number of "almost"-dataless clients. I want the clients to get some of the NIS tables from an already existing server _outside of my control_ (running FreeBSD-2.2.6) and some tables from this new server. Ideally, I'd want the information from the new server to _overwrite_ that obtained from the old one, should a conflict arise, but I can settle for less. Is this possible in a "semi-automagic" way with FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE server and a mixture of 3.0 and 3.1 clients? Alternatively, I can make this new server to be the only nis-server for the clients, but update its tables from the old server regularly (only the tables I need). Any comments or suggestions? Thanks a lot for your time! -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
