SubjectLarge Distributed Linux Networks
Greetings,

	I don't want to make a huge issue out of this, but I'm wondering
how many people are building large distributed networks on top of Linux,
and what luck/experiences they've had.  By distributed, I mean using
master and slave NIS servers to distribute large password and group files,
as well as AMD maps with dozens of entries to several dozen systems.  I am
and have been doing so for about a year now and have had some expectations
broken.  Would anyone with pearls of wisdom like to share them with me in
private email? 

FWIW, using libc-5.4.33 and ypclients-2.2-970318 seems to make a fairly
decent NIS implementation.  But I've never been able to keep even the
latest AMD up with it for more than 47 days.

thanks,
-bp
