Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up a small group of newly-aquired Turbo slabs, and I think I may be in trouble. I'm not entirely sure - several years of HP-UX and SunOS experience doesn't come to the rescue much. I've elected my NetInfo/configuration server, and run through the local network setup with NetManager. It seems to work: I can ping, telnet and ftp. What hasn't happened that I gather should have, is that no NetInfo domain was created for the local host (kauri) (native tree - I'm in New Zealand). When I select "Open" from "Domain" in NetInfoManager, the root domain has no cute right-pointing arrowhead, and no offspring are visible. "Okay," I thought, "this is weird, but I'll add one of the other hosts and see what happens!". Well, no domain was created for that either. Yes, I've rebooted - after each addition no less. Q: Am I right in thinking that there is a problem? Q: Where do I go from here? Is it safe to knock out the contents of /etc/netinfo completely and start again? Can I create the subdomains manually in NetInfoMunger? Thanx for any advice you can offer, but by email puh-leez. +-Brent Summers, U of Waikato, NZ----------------------------------------+ | "Laugh and the world ignores you.
