Dear managers.

I wan't to run a nis server on a Solaris 2.x machine. I know of a
SunSoft product "Naming Services Transition Kit (for Solaris 2.2 &
2.3)", product name NIS-PSITE, but one of my friends have tried it,
and cannot recommend it. It crashes in intervals of 5 to 20 minutes
with the following message:
> ld.so.1: /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypserv: fatal: relocation error: symbol
> not found: __xdr_yprequest: referenced in /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypserv
Ok, now I want to know if any of you know of a third party nis-server
product, that runs fine?

Five of those run the program without any problems. One have problems,
and thinks of looking at the Linux software.
D.A.Stewart@ee.edinburgh.ac.uk says there is a patch for my problem
