Hi, I managed to fix my NIS problems; I'd put the wrong netmask in and hence wasn't geting any broadcasts. Another symptom was some 'arplookup' errors occasionally on the console. One thing I haven't managed to get to work is netgroups; we have a netgroup representing all the machines in the department and I wanted to put it in /etc/exports but I got a complaint from mountd that 'rsuns was a bad netgroup' - which means it spotted it was a netgroup but didn't like it. We have loads of suns running SunOS which happily understand the netgroups. Under what circumstances would it do this? I wrote some code using getnetgrent and it seems to read the netgroup fine.
