The only code I have with Theo de Raadt's name on it is in the yppasswd package: Olaf Kirch apparently wrote yppasswdd, but yppasswd itself lists both Olaf's and Theo's names in the header. Also, yppasswdd is GPL'ed, while yppasswd has a BSD-style copyright. Be that as it may, both programs were in the same tar file when I got them. The remaining pieces (ypxfr, yppush and yp_mkdb) come from another GPL'ed Linux package, written by another gentleman whose name escapes me just now. I've added my own bits and pieces as well, of course. Incidentally, I'm trying to get this stuff done as soon as possible, but I'm wondering: exactly when is 2.1 due to be released anyway? -Bill -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Bill Paul System Manager wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu Center for Telecommunications Research (212) 854-6020 Columbia University, New York City ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Møøse Illuminati: ignore it and be confused, or join it and be confusing! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
