very chatty clients sent 28June2002

[Tom Wike]

HI,
I could not find any response to this email, we are seeing the same
thing and we only have 15 (out of over 200) RedHat 7.2 boxes running as
NIS+ clients, this additional traffic is a real concern for us - can
anyone comment or tell me your experiences with many Linux NIS+ clients
using Solaris NIS+ masters? Thanks!
