It is up and running now. For anyone else attempting to set up NIS, what really helped me was this website: http://www.realtime.net/sculpture/nis-startup.html For all those questioning the security risks, I AM running my NIS domain behind a firewall, a good one too, FreeBSD firewall :) Now, I have another question about NIS... Does NIS support any kind of caching? Or does it go out to the NIS = server every time someone logs in? Is there a way to set something up? After = I start putting most of the systems on this, I imagine that network usage = is going to raise dramatically... Thanks for any info you can provide! =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Nick nick@chromatix.com Web Page: http://www.lopresti.dhs.org/users/nick ------=_NextPart_000_0041_01BEBF18.C2A02CB0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV>First of all, I would like to thank everyone who helped me with my=20 NIS<BR>problems(A few days back).
