The conversation about getting ypbind to work across subnets got me to
wondering about booting diskless clients from a server that's not on the
same brodcast net. Will the RARP packet get to the server on the other
network or not? If not, how do machines boot across subnets?

Put something like the following in the client's rc.local: if [ -f /usr/etc/ypbind ]; then /usr/etc/ypbind && (echo -n ' ypbind') >/dev/console # set yp server /usr/etc/yp/ypset (IP_ADDRESS_OF_YP_SERVER) fi Dale Wyttenbach | ...rutgers!umn-cs!wytten wytten@cs.umn.edu | wytten@umnacvx.bitnet Computer Science Department Systems Staff--University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
