-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Chad, Thank you for the information below. Now pls. don't take this the wrong way, because the info was truly useful, but I still need to know if/how you solved the problem with ypserv. Both my master and slave ypserv machines are seg faulting this process every 2-3 minutes. I did cvs the RELEND_4_3 src and did make all install in the usr.sbin/ypserv dir, but the resulting binary was identical to the one from RELENG_4. Matt On Sun, 29 Jul 2001, Chad R.
