SVR4 NIS does not seem to have the nickname facility that SunOS NIS has and I failed to get my system to pick up the Suns password file etc. What do I have to do to get this to work?

I hear that they plan to make the code or routines to do this available via the ToolChest or some such for those people who need the feature. -- Robert Adams adams@littlei.intel.com ...!uunet!littlei!adams Disclaimer: Any opinions expressed here are my own and are not representative of Intel Corporation.
