Hello everyone, I would like to know if any of you are running a Sun 386i without using Yellow Pages as a stand-alone, connected to a network. If so, how did you accomplish this seemingly impossible feat? Thanks for any suggestion, Richard

If so, how did > you accomplish this seemingly impossible feat? Good luck. I tried but was never able to effectively disable this function (many things broke if you tried). No one else I have dealt with has been able to, either. Most don't think it's worth the effort. It doesn't do any harm to have them running if you're not using a network. In fact, since yp uses ndbm instead of sequential files, it's generally faster than not. Just make sure you're configured as a master yp server and don't worry about it. jim frost software tool & die "The World" Public Access Unix for the '90s madd@std.com +1 617-739-WRLD 24hrs {3,12,24}00bps
