I only ise FreeBSD, and so I figured it wouldn't be that hard to setup YP and NIS. I guess I was wrong. :) I was wondering when you guys are going to come out with some documentation on how to get it working? I've tried reading the manual pages, but some are missing and the ones in solaris are very operating system specific. Anyways, any documenation you might have would really help me out.
