the libtirpc package is self described as a "standalone package". i wonder how far that actually goes. wrt NIS, it requires the system C library to provide NIS functionality or you get a build failure in a few files. would be nice if libtirpc were usable without any NIS baggage at all. -mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
