I will apreciate your help. Did you get NFS to work without NIS? Or, was it the other way around? Probably, you should solve one at a time. Make sure you follow the man pages and the tutorial when setting up. If you don't get the maps built right or the client's files properly configured, nothing will work. John > Thanks you. > > Otto E.
