Was it enabled through the rc.config file on the client and server? It's not by default if I recall. You will also want to modify the /var/yp/Makefile and run make to recompile it with your changes. Also, if all you want is access to each other, you may be better off with NFS rather then NIS. In a nutshell, NFS is a way to share harddrives on multiple computers (similar to samba) NIS allows you to share system config files to actual NIS clients, ie: /etc/passwd, /etc/hosts, /etc/group, /etc/shadow, /etc/aliases, etc.. sm> "Stephen P.
