Thanks to Chris & Mike for replying but that's still not it. I've installed SuSE from 5.2 onwards and am a great champion of the distro. I've pushed it into some multinationals (and smaller companies) in the UK and use it for Heartbeat HA, Engineering support and (currently) 13 NIS servers (ask Thorsten :-) Now, editing /etc/sysconfig/ypbind will just set the ypclient options. I'm looking for the definitive location to edit variables. Of course I CAN edit /etc/yp.conf but I don't want it to be overwritten next time I run SuSEconfig (ala all other Suse versions). This is just an example. So, where's the right place to do this ? /etc/sysconfig/... or real files ? I'm happy either way but relocating SOME of the setups seems confusing. Oh, and botched update Chris ? A straight install. NIS client and server work fine on 8.0 - in fact the server debug seems even more informative :-) I'm not starting a war - I just need the info.

OK OK, Where did it go ?
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/mmj_network80.html
Now I edit ... what ? The clues point to the /etc/sysconfig directory but it's not all there (where's the ypbind server config taht I edit in yast2 for example ?).
???? A botched update?
