Hmm, Robert Jordan fan, cool ;) Anyways, what people unfortunately forget is that FreeBSD's NIS support is actually a NIS+ implementation. Do you have any /var/log/messages output you could paste to give a better idea of the situation as well as any config files? Also, I cc:-d Dag-Erling, since I believe he knows more about NIS in depth than I do. If this isn't DES, please cc: the person who does know. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds.
