No problems. I did so - runs fine. (Because of optimizations in the 3.0 NetInfo code you are encouraged to make the NetInfo server a 3.0 machine) > Conversely, would we encounter any problems by adding a machine running 2.1 as > a NetInfo client on a network served by a NetInfo server that is running 3.0? The NetInfo Protocol did not change (as I heard), so expect no problems too. It should just make NetInfo faster (see above). -- Detlev Droege | droege@infko.uni-koblenz.de Universitaet Koblenz, | (NeXTmail ok) Institut fuer Informatik | Voice: +49 261 9119-421 Rheinau 3-4, D-5400 Koblenz, Germany | Fax: +49 261 9119-499
