It is possible that I will have three NeXTs and a Mac on n intra-office LAN soon. What I'd like to do is use the simplicity of NetInfo, yet still have the Mac as an NFS client. Is this a tough thing to do? Thanks, MikeC -- --------------------------------------------------------- Michael D.

Is this a tough thing to do? What are you trying to accomplish? Are the Macs running A/UX? ---- |The phrase "NetInfo Network" is really meaningless--this is |some marketing bogosity in the NetMangler program that's really |concerned with whether or not individual machines should |broadcast for parent NetInfo domains, and it's just a way of |choosing a particular "canned" set of configuration options |that may make sense for "I have `N' NeXTs on the same piece |of cable and they're all under the same administrative control |and I'm not attached to the Internet and I really don't want to |learn anything about how any of this stuff really works."
