I ran NIS with one master and 50 slaves in a Solaris environment (2.5 -> 2.8) for 5 years and can't think of one problem (outside the time we tried to add a slave and did it incorrectly). Ran NIS on a 32 node Linux cluster based on RedHat 6.2 for six months and never had a problem with NIS. Tim Tim Carlson Voice: (509) 376-0300 Email: Tim.Carlson at pnl.gov EMSL UNIX System Support
