Date: Sun 01-Aug-1990 02:52:45 From: Unknown Subject: NetInfo problem Hello, Does anyone have any idea why a NeXT running as a NetInfo parent server for the past 7 months would suddenly crash then come back up asking for a NetInfo parent server? (The crash wasn't sudden, it does that now and then) Watching in the rom monitor shows when it starts portmap it gets the problem (It pauses for a few seconds after printing out portmap then says it can't find parent NetInfo server; type c to continue without network). The only thing that I can think of thats changed is that we started using a GatorBox to mount the NFS exports on Macs. The exports file was changed, and also the tftp configuration was changed in inetd.conf. Commented out the line pointing to /private/tftpboot and uncommented the "normal" tftp line. I can't think of anything else of consequence that has changed other than adding a few more users. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, -dave. davidp@skat.usc.edu Article 7291 of comp.sys.next: >From: todd@ivucsb.sba.ca.us (Todd Day)
