I need some help fixing something I screwed up a while back. While trying to get everything set up for a news feed, I inadvertently changed the Netinfo database to expect a parent for my machine. My system is a stand-alone color slab. The only symptom which is obvious is a message during the boot process which halts the boot until responded to: The following network error has occurred: Cannot find parent Netinfo server, still looking... Press 'c' to continue boot without parent server See your system administrator if you need help. I have read through the sysadmin manual (again) and found where this message was discussed. Essentially it says that the parent server is having problems and wait for it to get fixed. Nowhere have I found a discussion telling me how to say "I don't need no steenking server!" I did read the part about how to start all over from scratch re-building the Netinfo database. Is that the solution? The only solution? Thanks for any suggestions, Bill Lee
