SUMMARY: Solaris 8 ypserv -- client question

Right -- so -- turns out I was in the right place after all, just
focusing on the wrong things...

lesson 1) don't let your intern handle the /var/yp/securenets
entries...
lesson 2) check your /var/yp/securenets entries after a significant
network change...

<sigh>

I didn't get any responses -- but the information I gave wouldn't have
led anyone there --

thanks all!
