Re: [seul-edu] Win NT w/Linux Server?

[Harry McGregor <micros@azstarnet.com>]

YP (otherwise known as NIS) requires GlibC 2.x.  If you are using
slackware <7.0 you are using LibC5.

I have had the most success with NIS under debian potato and woody.

NIS is very painful to get running, took us about 1 week, with three very
good people to get it running the first time.
