Can anyone help me I am running PC-NFS 3.0.1 and would like to be able to have group access to files on the server while belonging to more than 1 group without running Yellow Pages from the PC. The reason being that I have an application which hangs the PC when YP are running, but I also belong to more than one group which I occassionly need to access files files from. The only solution I have come up with so far is to have an option in my autoexec.bat to run two alternative network.bats, one with and one without YPs.

I had a similar problem when I first mounted a SPARC 330 running SunOS 4.0.3. I more recently had a problem with mounting a Sun3 (SunOS 3.5) which was binding to a SPARC (SunOS 4.1.1) for NIS. The 330 problem was solved with the patch. The 4.1.1 problem was solved with the patch but more problems developed. The upgrade took care of everything. -- ############################################### # Jeffrey H. West # # email: jeffw@ddsw1.MCS.COM # ###############################################
