There was one item that was time critical. That was the status
of beta 1, and it's availability. That was holding me up. I have
downloaded the pre-beta 1 that you made for me and did sh csbuild. It
got a checksum error while unpacking one tarball, and the build failed
almost right away. I haven't had a chance to investigate the
failures. It will probably be a couple of days before I can do so.

I have done so.

I will see about doing this. The machine is not currently
operational (dead fan in power supply and hooped SCSI bus), but I just
about have the hardware repairs done. Then, I will have to work on
the OS change. This will probably be after I get our new server
running.
} Why do you like NIS+?
It's not so much that I like NIS+ (which is quite complex); but,
rather that with the size of our passwd file (18.5K+), it must be
stored in a database, and NIS+ is all that Sun supports. If you have
other suggestions, I would be willing to look at them.
