Hello again,
	My posting last night may have been a bit premature. After
closer inspection it turns out that nibindd is what is giving me
trouble when I start up and then I get the question for a NetInfo
parent.
	After continuing with the boot I checked the procceses running
and found out that nibindd is running, but there are no netinfod's
running. I have an OD that has a working NetInfo parent configuration
and it shows nibind and two netinfod's running; one as local and the
other as network (shows up as /usr/etc/netinfod local, and
/usr/etc/netinfo network).
	The crash that precursed all this happened when I tried to get
into PrintManager to configure a new printer. The application started
then I got a nasty crash (little repetitive patterns all over the
screen and _evertying_ was froze). Could this have possibly corrupted
the network nidb and if so is there some way it can be recovered?

Thanks again,
-dave.
