We have a crontab script that checks on the server if ypserv is running every minute or so and if it has stopped it restarts ypserv. It would be more of a pain but you could do a similar thing with ypbind on the clients. We also could not find out why ypserv is stopping. -- ======================================================================= The idea of male and female are universal constants. -- Kirk, "Metamorphosis", stardate 3219.8 ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
