Given the target use of the change proposed by this case, has thought been given to allowing ypinit to be invoked in a manner that doesn't require any prompting? For example: ypinit -C 192.12.18.1 ...to initialise a client with 192.12.18.1 as its NIS server and having ypinit behave in a manner more suited to being invoked by something else rather than from the command line. Although this is potentially beyond the scope of this case.. Darren
