I'm sorry if this is an old and tired subject: whether or not to use
Yellow Pages. Soon I'll have the following on a private (quiet)
enet circuit (all to run Ultrix):
1 DECstation 3100 server, 3 RZ55 disks
7 DECstation 2100 each w/RZ23 (100 Meg disks)
Desired Setup: 2100's effectively or completely diskless.
RZ23 (100 Meg) definitely to hold /tmp and swap.
RZ23 could also hold local root filesys, any reason to do that?
I've always avoided YP, BUT I've never so many stations, and never had
a diskless environment before. Any advice either way gratefully accepted.
Is there a better (non-YP) way for the 2100's to share /etc/passwd, group,
and hosts ?
Reply directly; if this is NOT a tired old subject, I'll summarize.
Thanks...
