I have my linux box, Mandrake 7.1, using yp to talk to a Solaris NIS+ cluster. The problem is that not all of the Suns can get authorization to NFS mount my exported directories. After digging around for a while, the Sun administrator discovered that the nickname used to identify all of the Sun hosts is longer than 1024 characters. Sure enough, if I do a ypmatch on the Mandrake box the total length is 1020. So, how do I increase this limit? Al Niessner
