Margiotta" To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: NIS Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, We are trying to set up NIS here, and we already have the ORA Managing NFS and NIS book. The problem(?) is that in the book, it says to use ypinit to build the maps and such...we have searched the system, and all documentation we can find and haven't seen anything about ypinit on a FreeBSD system. Is there ypinit, or does one of the other yp-functions such as ypserve or ypmkdb take over this function. Any help would be much appreciated. TIA! p.s. - FreeBSD 2.2.2-Release installed about a month ago from ftp, not the cd (though that should have nothing to do with it.) -Gary Margiotta TBE Internet Services http://www.tbe.net
