Especially: gengenba@fowiss.uni-passui.edu fred@vmsc.uac.uci.edu deej@maine.edu gedetilgold.cs.manitoba.ca To summarize: DEC URC came in to help me. All the clients have their own / and /var partitions. All share /usr, /usr/var -> /var which is the big I gotcha to do. We are running BIND which works fine: but watch for the way the mountd is started on the bindmaster. Stuart STUART COHNEN CCNY STRCC@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
