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.
