Hi,

we use DECstations under Ultrix4.1 and 4.2 and machines from other
vendors. Recently, we bought a new sun. In our environment, we
distriubute the existence of our new machine via NIS, where
all servers are suns (this is because otherwise BIND is not supported
on suns) running SunOS4.1.2. We distribute a NIS-netgroup database,
which contains entries for all hosts in "somegroup". Our /etc/exports
can now be connfigured as   "/directory somegroup" and everythings fine.

Some NFS-Directories are distributed from Ultrix, which has no "exportfs"
command to announce changes in the /etc/exports-file. On our other
machines (Suns and Sgis), there is no problem, but a few days I couldn't
mount any Ultrix-NFS-server directory to the new sun, there was a
message like "RPC: invalid client credential" indicating that there 
is no permission. Now everything seems to run.

How can I inform Ultrix from changes in /etc/netgroup of the YP-Server
and when does Ultrix normally recognize the change?

Whenever I make changes to /etc/exports I kill and restart mountd.

I would assume that by changing netgroups you can do the same to authorize
new groups.
