Re: RH 5.0 and NIS setup

[Dave Rawlinson <djr star rl ac uk>]

Thanks to Thorsten for the response.

It all works fine now.  However, the RedHat install guide (4.x) was
quite explicit about NOT needing to run ypbind.  I tried to find a mention
in the online 5.0 manual but couldn't.  Has this change been documented
somewhere?

Thanks again,

Dave...
