Hmm, it seems that dhclient doesn't even export new_nis_domain in the "plus" case! (Check the diff of your two log files, new_nis_domain doesn't occur as "envkey" in the "plus" case.) Now either dhclient refuses to export the variable in this case, or it isn't even transferred to the client. Could you use wireshark to sniff the packets transmitted to the client? IMHO this is a problem with the dhcp client (BTW: which package exactly are you using to supply dhclient?). Best, Michael
