This should not be required - the method ypinit uses ought to be able to figure out the right address anyway. Other people have run into the same thing, my best guess being that there's something up with the resolver configuration but I've never had enough information to track it down. What's the output of: host <master hostname> host <master ip> cat /etc/nsswitch.conf on the master server? -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
