I swear, I hate Sun. I really do. The Solaris rpc.nisd is supposed to be able to work with NIS v2 clients in 'compatibility mode' but it would be just my luck that this 'compatibility' didn't include support for the YPPROC_ORDER call. That implies a great deal of stupidity on Sun's part, however. I wouldn't put it past them, but it's unlikely. It could be that the 'compatibility mode' isn't set up right, but since I don't run NIS+, I can't confirm this. If anybody out there has NIS+ running on their network and can check this for me, I'd love to hear from you. Unfortunately, the yp_order() call gets used during NIS password lookups: I needed a quick way to check for the presence of a 'master.passwd.byname' or 'master.passwd.byuid' map, and trying to do a yp_order() on it seemed like a good idea at the time. The fact that the yp_order() fails shouldn't hurt, except it looks like Theo DeRaadt set up the yp_order() function to loop forever until clnt_call() returns RPC_SUCCESS. This is exactly the sort of thing I was trying to avoid too. Bah. Sounds like something else that needs to be added to my to-do list. -Bill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Møøse Illuminati: ignore it and be confused, or join it and be confusing! ~~~~~ "Welcome to All Things BSDish!
