This is undoubtably obvious (I hope) but neither I nor the syadmin of the NeXT machine know how the NetInfo stuff can be changed from a root login via telnet. It's no problem when logged into the console with the GUI editor but is there anyway to put new entries in the mount list etc. from remote? I checked the FAQ and didn't see anything about this and manuals seem to only geared from console logins. -- Jonathan Bradshaw | jbradsha@mentor.cc.purdue.edu | HAM: N9OXE | Prodigy XMSN02B WNDU-AM/FM/TV South Bend, IN | Disclaimer "My opinions are not my employers" - "Busy life, not enough time to look in the mirror." - Deborah Ann Gibson -

I.e. use nidump to get the info, edit it, and them pop it back into NetInfo land via niload. -Mike -- -Michael S.

(well, you might need awk or perl and surely grep to get some of the neat views you can with NetInfoMangler, but you CAN do it) -- David Lemson (217) 244-1205 University of Illinois NeXT Campus Consultant / CCSO NeXT Lab System Admin Internet : lemson@uiuc.edu UUCP :...!uiucuxc!uiucux1!lemson NeXTMail accepted BITNET : LEMSON@UIUCVMD

The first two are conveniences for UNIX weenies. niutil provides "low level" access and can do most things one might use NetInfoManager for. -=EPS=- -- Anyone care to write a curses-based NetInfoMangler replacement?
