Hi Trying to configure NIS server on 8.2 using yast2 gives the following error : makedbm: Cannot open /var/yp/local/netid.byname gmake[1]: *** [netid.byname] Error 1 make: *** [target] Error 2 Grateful advice as to what this means and how I might fix it. I have two boxes behind a Vigor router on a ntl cable modem connection. TIA Mike

You don't have a netid map (which maps netnames onto hostnames or uids). If you are setting this up through yast just unselect 'netid' in the maps setup. Otherwise, modify your ypserv.conf not to try to load that map. -- -ckm
