I have a NeXT cluster that I have inhereted from another sysadmin
person here and I am having a bit of trouble with the NetInfo /
domain.

Presently there is one cube (030) that is the master server for /
THis machine is also presently a printserver for /
It has 16 MBytes RAM and a 330 H.Disk. We are also running NIS (YP).

In the / domain are several sub domains...one for each machine on the
net:

/kanga /pooh /roo /owl /eeyore /piglet

where /pooh is the Master server above.

I can't get NetInfor to export the local printer on kanga to /
I am following the procedure in the Next Sys Admin book that you get
with the slabs.

When I try to indicate / on the "where" button in the Print Manager it
takes it okay. Then I try to exit the app and it says...can't write to /
domain...or objects in / are read only etc. etc. 

I have tried MANUALLY adding the printer to / through the NetInfo Manager    
and I get the same types of results. Has anyone else had problems exporting
printers to / from the slabs?

Also...how COMMITTED is NeXT to continue supporting NIS (YP)?
