Sun Managers,

Thanks to all who responded. (Original query at end.)

The combined opinion is

1). PC-NFS does NOT work with "NIS+" and does work with "NIS+ in NIS
        compatability mode".

2). To start NIS+ in NIS compatability mode

        a). On NIS+ master, edit /etc/init.d/rpc and uncomment the line:

                EMULYP="-Y"(add "-B" for NIS+ to forward YP requests to DNS)

        b). and "reboot"
                        OR
                     kill rpc.nisd and restart rpc.nisd -r -Y (-B)

:) Sun Managers,
:)
:) I'm running (limping, actually) NIS+ with Solaris 2.3.
:)
:) I'm about to install PC-NFS 5.1. I believe that I read that PC-NFS does NOT
:) work with "NIS+" and does work with "NIS+ in NIS compatibility mode".
:)
:) IS THIS TRUE?
:)
:) How can I change my network from "NIS+" to "NIS+ in NIS compatibility mode" without starting all over again? (I've already built "NIS+" twice.)
:)
:) I will summarize.
:)
:) Thanks, Russ
