I can use ypcat and ypmatch with the netgroup map just fine > however. Now I am really confused. The FreeBSD machine is the master, but it does not have the /etc/netgroup file? Which machines have which files, and on which machine do the ypcat and ypmatch commands work? And on which machines do they not work? Are all of these machines on the same LAN? Do you have a master and slave on the same LAN? Sorry if I missed understood something somewhere. -- Crist J.
