Original message:

         We have had an odd output from NIS ever since we upgraded to D.U.
4.0D. I've included the message below, Has anyone had similar experiences?
Anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Trevor.

Summary:
        This is a cute undocumented "feature" new to Digital UNIX 4.0x. 4.0
is capable of "multiple slave tree updates" which from what I understand of it
is basically, you can serve more than one domain from the master NIS server.
Anyways, For those of you who find the message annoying you can disable it by
replacing the "YPPUSH=$(YPDIR)/yppush" with "YPPUSH=$(YPDIR)/yppush -M" in
/var/yp/Makefile. I'd make a copy before the change though... :}

Thanks
