I have exactly the same opinion. It seems like NOTHING is quite ready to be used yet. While I'm here: (please answer by mail if this has been discussed before - I havn't read this group very frequently due to change of situation) One thing that works sometimes and doesn't work at all most of the time is sockets across SLIP. Two of our RTs are connected via liced lines (sp?) and we sometimes have problems communicating between them. Easies way to see it is running FTP - most of the time you can get ONE transfer OK, but number two gives "Can't open ...." 20 is the device nr of /dev/sock, right? This is probably why we can't get processes to communicate this way either. Does anyone know when the new version of NFS that supports file locking is going to be released? Or the DS that supports remote login? At the porting seminar someone mentioned that you could run DS WITH NFS, but I couldn't get any more information then. Yellow pages (someone mentioned it recently) : I've had the same problem. I've had the slave collecting everything from the master too, but ypbind wont locate the master when I try to login to the slave. Any help at all appreciated / Jonas PS.
