Yes, ypbind will broadcast only within the subnet. In general, that's how any broadcast-based software works. It's a bad idea to use broadcasts for NIS anyway, though, you should explicitly give it a list of servers to use. As I recall you set those up in /etc/yp.conf, check the man page for ypbind for the syntax of that file. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
