I was just wondering, what's the best directory service to run these days? I had to take an intro to Unix class for school, and that mentioned NIS, which I had looked into in the past...though I just read the ORielly book on that and it seemed to say that NIS should only be used until newer alternatives became stable, and the book was about 5 years old. Being able to interoperate with windows hosts would be nice also, though I'm not holding my breath... Any help would be apreciated. -- quit When the quit statement is read, the bc processor is terminated, regardless of where the quit state- ment is found. For example, "if (0 == 1) quit" will cause bc to terminate. -- seen in the manpage for "bc". Note the "if" statement's logic
