May I ask you for the following further information? - Is it correct that the above code is executed as part of some script in class/? What is the name of that script? - What exactly do you refer to as "fails" - is it that the resulting classes do not contain "NIS" (and neither do they contain "$YPDOMAIN")? - Did you try to add debugging information like echo'ing "my XXYPDOMAIN: XX$YPDOMAIN" (which might in your case result in XX only, if $YPDOMAIN turns out to be empty)? - What is the contents of boot.log on your client? Greeting to Darmstadt, Thanks a lot, Michael
