! ! ! W A R N I N G ! ! ! ========================= THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE !! BE CAREFUL !! YOU SHOULD READ IN EVERY CASE MY WWW PAGE AT http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/nisplus.html For a complete NIS+ client, you need glibc 2.1 and the latest nis-utils release. There is no plan to port the NIS+ functions back to glibc 2.0. You also need a Linux kernel with sendmsg/recvmsg syscall (2.1.xx). The best is Linux 2.1.125 or later. If you use this software, you should subscribe to the Linux NIS+ mailing list at linux-nisplus@samba.anu.edu.au. For more information, look at http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc/ Thorsten Kukuk
