At present, we have two separate files using BIND/Hesiod for DECstations and RPC for Sun system, but we would like to integrate PCs running BSDi and ALPHAs running OSF and possibly an RS/6000 running AIX. Is there a publically available version of a secure RPC? Thanks, Gerry O'Brien, Dept. of Computer Science, Trinity College Dublin, gerry@cs.tcd.ie
