Package: nis Version: 3.12-3 Severity: minor First of all, let me thank you for the excelent howto you've included in the nis documentation.
I thought I would inform you of two minor inconcsistencies which I discovered when attempting to follow your instructions: - In section 3.7 you suggest touching /etc/networks, but as far as I can tell this is no longer necessary, and not doing it produces no errors. - ypinit, when run as suggested in section 3.7, assumes that localhost.localdomain is the current NIS server if that line comes first in /etc/hosts. By putting the real IP address and hostname above the 127.0.0.1 line, ypinit selected the correct hostname for the server. I may have missed something or done something wrong, but this was my experience. :-) Charles -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (90, 'testing'), (80, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
