Do you think I care ? > PS I don't use NIS so I have no idea about your FreeBSD problem. Sorry. Now that is something I do care about and FreeBSD's possible poor NIS client performance is making it look very bad in a large UNIX network such as the one we run here. Combine that with the fact that FreeBSD has no automounter that is compatible with the commercial UNIX systems and you'll see that FreeBSD is missing out in some key markets (being a client in a larger UNIX network). [I dont want to hear the arguments of "Use AMD, it's better" because there are many situations where the client cannot control what NIS maps the server will provide]. So if anyone has something useful to offer re: investigating of FreeBSD's NIS client performance, please reply. Also news along the lines of "I have written an autofsd and need people to test it" would be good too. -- Matthew Thyer Phone: +61 8 8259 7249 Science Corporate Information Systems Fax: +61 8 8259 5537 Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Edinburgh PO Box 1500 Edinburgh South Australia 5111 IMPORTANT: This email remains the property of the Australian Defence Organisation and is subject to the jurisdiction of section 70 of the CRIMES ACT 1914.
