I have managed to configure my machine as a yp client, and modified the /etc/host.conf file, but it still won't use nis for the passwords. The man page says to add a "+" to the relavent file - what is the relavent file and how do I do it? -- __________________________________ ___ _ _ _ Tom Simpson.
