From: Bill Fenner To: freebsd-gnats@freebsd.org, tejblum@arc.hq.cti.ru Cc: Subject: Re: bin/2657: ypserv thinks there is no computers in network 10.1.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 Date: Tue, 4 Feb 1997 21:21:59 PST ypserv is right. Network numbers are normally specified with a "0" in the host portion; in your case, the network number is 10.1.2.0 . 10.1.2.3 is a host address on the network 10.1.2.0 . Your patch simply allows people to specify either a host address or the network number in the securenets file. Bill
