Under -stable, various dates (this problem hasn't changed for a long time): Now, all *I* need is to get our ypbind to handle an NIS+ server in compatibility mode; our SGIs under both 5.3 and 6.2 and the Sun 4.1.3 systems do fine but freebsd doesn't find the domain server (and we have a master and a slave, both in yp compat mode) (and fbsd ypbind won't connect even if you try to point out the server directly). A kluge would be to run a yp slave server on one of the other Sun's but I'd rather not do that :-) -- Pete
