Using your comments and the reference provided by Paul, I was able to set up an NIS server and export a directory. It all appeared to be working correctly.
OK, what are you using the NIS server for?
I entered the host name of a client machine, linux.
Where did you enter this?
When I try to access the exported directory, I get an error message that the host cannot be found. I'm sure that what I've said above is insufficient data. Can you either see what I'm doing wrong or ask some clarifying questions?
Can you send the contents of /etc/exports from the server and either /etc/fstab from the client or the command you typed to mount the nfs export? Dylan -- "The man who strikes first admits that his ideas have given out." (Chinese Proverb)
