Somewhere in Warren's archive is a source copy of NFS 2.0 from Sun that I donated. It's replete with all the YP stuff. Not sure if the following is the copy I donated, but it's close enough: https://minnie.tuhs.org//cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=NFSv2/usr/src/usr.bin/ypcat.c From my copy: -r--r--r--   1 krewat   kilonet     6356 Nov 20  1985 ./usr/src/usr.bin/ypcat.c Interesting that the date is one day off. The copy of NFS 2.0 that I donated was integrated with BSD 4.2 at Computer Graphics Lab at New York Institute of Technology. When they went kaput, I managed to get my hands on that NFS tape along with a slew of other stuff that I can't do anything with because it's all copywrited. /etc/nsswitch.conf in Solaris originated with NIS+ (NISPLUS). Sun seems to be the origin, and it only came about because of NIS+. That's my theory and I'm sticking with it ;) art k.
