(as usual, just include any error > messages) ypcat 'works' in the sense that it displays information, but the information it displays is old, and not synchronous with the master server. This is only the case for master.passwd, however. ypcat passwd shows the correct information (thus things that use passwd rather than master.passwd; ie finger work fine). Because of this, there really is no error message to include. Hope that is more specific, and I appreciate your assistance. (sorry, Brian if you get this twice. I didn't realize there was no Reply-to to redirect my message to the list) Regards, Bill
