- Does anyone have a method for printcap and termcap part of the NIS map? For
- printcaps, the entry has to be slightly different for the host to which the
- printer is attached. An obvious solution is have the NIS consult a local
- printcap before consulting the NIS map, like it does for passwd.

- I perused some of the old sun-spots archives, but could not find a
- satisfactory answer. (one was to modify source code, we don't have source
- code). There also is a reference to ypprintcap in the man pages, but it says
- it is for sun 386i machines only.
-
- It seems to me that this question would have been asked before. Hopefully the
- answers can be submitted to the FAQ.
