Hmmm,

Well, I can ftp to the hosts on the LAN (all running NIS) but not
as an anonymous login. It does require a user login name and 
password. Then again, I'll have to check out the way I have ftp
set up.

Perhaps you can post some of the details of your setup? I'm not
a wizard (yet ;-)), but maybe someone will see something.

PS: I've put a draft of an NIS startup document at:

http://www.realtime.net/sculpture/nis-startup.html

It is based on my experience as a novice at it and any input
would be appreciated.
