- I administer a mostly-Sun-with-some-AIX network and have just added a
- Dell SVR4 Issue 2.2 host to the network. Although all the yp*
- stuff is there, Dell tech support says it doesn't work, and can't
- be made to work. Assuming this is correct, how (if at all) can
- I have the Dell system participate in my NIS/automount universe
- where anyone can log in anywhere and have their normal environment?
- /etc/passwd has different formats, so I can't just rdist it; I suppose
- automounter maps can be rdist-ed. What other ideas are there?
-
- Also, any tips on NFS-mounting (hard- or auto-) the mail spool
- from my Sun main mail host?
