I'm curious about approaches that are used to create name services under UNIX. Are Sun's White/Yellow pages the only widely used standard? If you were trying to get a list of all the users on all UNIX machines in a well-defined Internet, how would you do it if some users were using white/yellow pages, others were using OSF's directory service, etc.?

And anyone who really believes that this is legit should have his or her head examined... I know, I'll set up a telephone shrink service. Lessee, how about 1-900-BIG-HOLE Feh. Glenn R.
