When you run "domainname" do you get the right domain name? Do you have a /var/yp/binding directory? You're not running version 5.4.23 (from unstable) of libc, are you? (That _appeared_ to break my yp service - causing ypbind to behave as you describe.) -- +-------------------- finger for pgp public key ---------------------+ | Dale E.
