I installed the new ypbind-3.0 and it works fine. While I was at it, I did a test and set #define PING_INTERVAL 86400 in ypbind.h. This stops it from pinging the server every 10 seconds, but it turns out that the nis server sends _me_ something every minute (or 6; I've forgotten now). The nis server is on a Solaris 2.4 host. Does anyone know offhand why it does this, or if it can be turned off? (It causes the isdn line to stay active unnecessarilly). ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
