- There were a large number of bugs in the NIS (aka YP) that came with SVR4.
- The bugs ranged to imcompatibilities at the data level to kernel problems.
- Intel and a number of other companies labored hard to fix these problems
- last year and submitted the changes back to USL.
-
- If I recall correctly, Stardent was one of those companies. Contact them
- for help.
