Hi,

once again I have to bother you with a question on NIS/YP
on 2.2.2-RELEASE machines.

How can I avoid that the NIS master server tries to push maps
to itself ?
This fails because
yppush: status returned by ypxfr: Master's version not newer

Another "problem", which may be related to the NIS configuration is
that I don't get the entry of the GECOS field for one NIS user in
sendmail's `vrfy' on the NIS master server -- just the <mail adress>
itself -- though I can see no difference in his and other's entries
in the NIS master.passwd.
It works, however, on other machines which are bound the the same
NIS server.

TIA,
Robert
