Actually I do seem to be making a connection in that when I do a 'ypwhich', it's pointing to the right yp server, but when I try and login, it doesn't recognize me. ypbind is up and running...has anyone seen this before? Do I need to do some extra configuration on the ypserver in order for it to service this particular client? Any help is much apreciated, PS Oh, while I'm at it...is it normal for tab completion/history lists via arrow keys not to work? I've poked at gettytab, tset, stty, and have even compiled the kernel with different settings (pc0/vt0) to get it to work, but to no avail. Can anyone help me? I fall to pieces without tab completeion because I'm a really slow typer :) Thanx, [=====================================================================] Stephen Tow Email: stow@ssibm4.ssp.ameslab.gov Ames Laboratory Phone: 294-9648 A422 Physics Home Phone: 296-0612 Ames, Iowa 50011 http://www.public.iastate.edu/~stow
