Any one here successfully network OS X and Solaris 8 at home or work as far as NIS and NFS is concern.
I have my G4 network to two Solaris workstation but only for internet sharing (through Sparcstation 20) Planning on trying NIS with an Ultra 5 as the server. I know there are issues with FreeBSD and Solaris 8 with NIS wasn't sure is the same issue was true with OS X.
If NIS or NIS+ can be done with OS X and Solaris 8, that could work out well for Apple as far as grabbing UNIX desktop world, since there are alot of Solaris servers out there.
