Hi All,

Paul, thanx for the link...coupla questions, though..does this effect 
the current users already on the client.? or, is it only for NFS 
authorization.? I see that at boot, the client machine atempts to find 
the NIS server, so, that's why I was curious about the effect on current 
users...cheers.

Mark Sargent.
