I've never used NIS, but isn't this either a bug/missing feature in NIS or a misconfiguaration on your part? Shouldn't NIS have a "first found" option so that root:wheel doesn't need NIS resolution? If it does, why aren't you guys using it? :) I'd rather see NIS fixed than the rc system hacked to death because of NIS brain death. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
