Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, my question relates to the NIS part. I have a notebook, which is sometimes included in my network, sometimes not (this is, why I use a thing like a notebook). Now some problems during the booting process occur, if I have installed the NIS things in master.passwd and groups and the notebook is not in the network. This seams clear because it doesn't find the NIS information. Can I do something like a depending booting? Network YES => use NIS, Network NO => do not use NIS Thanks, Thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
