Anybody using NDMP for NT. I need to backup NT servers on a P3000 which supports only NDMP. Where can we get NDMP for NT? prem Premanshu Jain Nortel Networks, Content Networks(Shasta) 2305, Mission College Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95054 Direct: (408) 565-3573 ESN: 655-3573 eMail: prjain@shastanets.com Web: http://www.nortelnetworks.com/ipservices

design. We have a lot of development servers. So any time you add/delete/modify a single user you should go trough _all_ the NIS/automount clients and run "automount" to let automountd know that passwd map has been just updated. Am I wrong again?

This is correct, but I simple cron job which runs periodically on all NIS clients should make short work of this task. =)

Er? Solaris? That's one of the (few) beauties of NIS -- you don't have to go around telling everything that a map has changed.

I've never gone machine-to-machine running automount(1) to kick it in the pants just because we changed the password or auto_home map. The _worst_ is that ncsd caches something and we need to kill and restart it.
