1) sudo on a FreeBSD 1.1 R system. I get
	>sudo ls
	setuid(0): Operation not permitted
   
   did I mess up, or do I need to change the mount options or something 
   (its on my /usr partition)

2) Does anyone use FreeBSD as a yp client ? If so is there a yppasswd, or is 
   it an option or something ?

   The ypbind appears to work fine. At least I have users logging in 
   and being recognised ...

   but when I try to change passwd on a FreeBSd client (Ultrix Master) I get

	>passwd
	Changing YP password for dave.
	Old password:
	passwd: Permission denied
	passwd: /etc/master.passwd unchanged   

thanks 
dave
