[problems with NIS+ server and FreeBSD client] Well, if you're getting 'procedure not available' errors when trying to do a yp_order(), then I guess the NIS+ 'compatibility' mode isn't all that compatible. I wish to hell I had an NIS+ server over here that I could have checked this with. Tell me: if you go to one of the SunOS 4 or HP-UX machines and use the yppoll command (i.e. 'yppoll passwd.byname') what does it say? This command does a call to yp_order() as well. Anyway, if you need a quick fix, ftp a fresh copy of /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/getpwent.c and try rebuilding libc with it. (You'll have to relink some static binaries too, I'm afraid). I patched it last night to use yp_first() instead of yp_order() to check for the 'master.passwd.*' maps. I used yp_order() at first because it was faster. *sigh* -Bill
