Use the rc.conf settings suggested in the tutorial and the necessary rpc servers will be started at boot time by /etc/rc Once you've got everything running, you can use ps -ax | grep rpc to see what rpc servers were started. I don't actually remember what's started for NIS, although I believe rpc.statd at least needs to run. -Bill _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
