Yes, that is already OK. Here is the /etc/svc.conf file: aliases=local,yp group=local,yp hosts=local,bind,yp netgroup=local,yp networks=local,yp passwd=local,yp protocols=local,yp rpc=local,yp services=local,yp SECLEVEL=BSD # for backwards compatibility ONLY Who needs this file anyway ? I mean I can figure out its meaning, but who reads this file ? Ionut PS glibc is version 2.2 . Are there any known issues about this ? *************** * Ionut Georgescu * http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/ * ICQ: 38973105 * "In Windows you can do everything Microsoft wants you to do; in Unix you * can do anything the computer is able to do."
