- One of the networks I administer consists of Suns, HPs, SGIs, a DEC, and
- a NeXT, all in the same YP/NIS domain (with a Sun server). I've had no
- problems whatsoever with setting them up or running them this way.

- We also have an IBM AIX machine which I'd like to incorporate into this
- domain... but the problem holding me there isn't YP/NIS, but the
- NFS setup I'll have to do on it too (/etc/filesystems? stanzas? whose
- bright idea was that!?). Setting it up as another YP/NIS client was
- easy...
-
- (BTW, all the OS numbers on the machines I speak of are the same as those
- you are asking about)
