BINGO
I have to assume that we had enabled nfs swap a few years ago when this
lab was installed. Without it, some of the clients simply did not work.
I'm busy campaigning, but soon I will crack the cases and see what the
nic/ram/video variables were between the functioning and non-functioning
units. The server, fyi, is a generic athlon with 768mb.
Jim and Eric - Thanks. And on behalf of the many teens at the Boys and
Girls Club in Ewa Beach - Aloha
