[I am posting this for someone else, but you may post or reply directly to me. Thanks for any information I can pass along.] 1) Has anyone ported the (SUN) NFS yellow pages (YP) network lookup service to the HP9000 HPUX environment? 2) If so, what are your experiences with it, such as: speed, efficiency, use of disk space, was it "worth it", etc. Marc Ries <somewhere>!ries "PHOTOVOLTAICS: safe/clean Electricity from the SUN"

Our 'out of the box' HP-UX 6.2 Hp9000/360's have yp. It works just as well as on SUN :-) utgpu!bnr-vpa!bnr-fos!hwt%bnr-public | BNR is not | All that evil requires hwt@bnr (BITNET/NETNORTH) | responsible for | is that good men do (613) 765-2337 (Voice) | my opinions | nothing.

We are currently using Yellow Pages in our development environment. We have 10 HP 9000/300s (HP-UX 6.5) on the net and have experienced no major difficulties. The major caveat is that the YP Master and Slave servers should be the most stable machines on the system - if they are all down the other machines tend to lock up when they try to access a YP map. Previously, I was responsible for 6 SUN 3/160s and have noticed no major changes from SUN's YP. The only major pain I have found with the HP version is that /usr/lib/aliases is not included in their implementation. PC NFS is also more sane to use if you have YP. pw [hplabs|hpfcse]!hpuepta|acgrph!pw
