So I wrapped the ypupdate script with my own sorta brute force method that I had to use with the old sco's. (the script refuses to run in the presence of a lock file that it creates on starting and removes when finished - it aint perfect - but its better than chewed files) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
