In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have NIS setup on many diffrent machine on diffrent networks. But accross subnets without NIS slaves, no. But with NIS slaves on each subnet is not that hard to do. I even have Sun NIS clients on FreeBSD NIS Servers, and Sun NIS Server on FreeBSD NIS clients.
