I have potato (sparc) and nis doesn't work either. Before that I have slink and nis never work for me. I have written to this list about the problem, but nis never got fixed. Now, just by exasperation, I go to the redhat site, grab the package ypbind, extract the binary ypbind in it (using the mc file manager), then substitute this ypbind to that of debian. Amazingly, it works ! -- PHAM Dinh Tuan | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Laboratoire de Modelisation et Calcul | Tel: +33 4 76 51 44 23 BP 53, 38041 Grenoble cedex 9 (France) | Fax: +33 4 76 63 12 63 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
