Re: [cobalt-users] NIS

["Nathan Martinez" <nathanm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried this and after a ton of trial and error..... only ended up
being able to connect to my pdc.  None of the other nt servers would allow
me to connect.  I believe that this is due to my raq not officially joining
my nt domain.  I have tried doing this as I have done before with other
machines....but I could not get it to work with the raq2.  Also, I have seen
reference to NIS on my redhat machine at home.  Are you sure that it is only
for Solaris networks?  Any words of wisdom on how I can get all of this
working?  Why is samba better than NFS (a question that I have yet to get
any kind of answer on)?  thanks for your help.
