sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10, system SunOS 5.7 Note that I have also several linux system on intel. They all run nis without any problem. One system has also been just upgraded to the latest potato too. By the way, I think I have nade an error by trying to install the kernel-image-2.2.13. I should install kernel-image-sun4c-2.2.13 instead ?
