Yes, I was just trying to point out that dhcp was passing some information correctly (DNS), but it did not seem to be passing the NIS information. > If you want to set your NIS domainname to "MICROSOFT" (all caps etc) > you can do that, it's valid. I set the domainname to a garbage value, ran dhclient, and then expected to see the updated nis domainname from dhcp. But on my system the nis information doesn't appear to be updated by dhcp. Am I missing something? Here is the dhcp server nis information again: option nis-domain "alantro.com"; option nis-servers 192.168.50.1; Do I need to do anything on the client to enable dhclient to override a previous value for the nis domain? > > Most people however find it convenient to keep the NIS and DNS > domainnames the same. > > Mike. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Alantro Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED]
