Date: 15 Jan 1997 18:25:11 GMT Organization: ServiceTech, Inc. Lines: 12 Message-ID: <5bj7e7$6h3@post.servtech.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: cyber2.servtech.com X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:33824 Hello, As the messages says, I'm trying to get NIS aliases working. The NIS server is a FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA system, and the client is running FreeBSD 2.1.5. Can this be done? I have tried putting a '+:' entry in /etc/aliases to no avail. Reading the sendmail docs and source hasn't helped much either. If anyone out there knows how to make it work, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, -Shawn Carey
