This is getting slightly away from Linux, but do you know which of the
three I would use with OCN Economy? I was unable to get Internet service
on Solaris using either NIS or NIS+, even though the installation
program made that part of the setup seem quite easy. I also tried
entering information manually in nsswitch.conf and other related files,
following instructions I got somewhere, but to no avail. What is the
specific information that goes into nsswitch.conf if you want to use
DNS?
