Looking at the AMD code I see there used to be an option that would take the master map from NIS directly, instead of the current way which requires you ``ypcat'' it as an argument to the program. This ``ypcat'' method is a real drag if you have a large quantity of direct mounts. (And I know direct mounts suck, but I didn't create the maps, ok?). Start of AMD takes honking-big amounts of memory and process slots with this method. With direct access to the master map things will only get mounted when they are accessed, and this will greatly conserve system resources. Also, it is a hell of a lot easier to administer. So, is there any way to get this code back? Are we useing the most current AMD? What is the status of AMD anyway? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
