No, unfortunately, this is not a 64-bit machine... it's a pair of R4400
32-bit processors... pretty much the same as an Indigo2.

I did, I removed it, and it still doesn't work (although I doubted that
would be it).

In this instance, the zephyrd was root, zhm and zwgc were mchang. I
tried again with all three layers as mchang, and again as root... no avail.

Hrm.. I ran into a compilation problem early on because I was using SGI's
make instead of the fancier gnumake... I changed that and it compiled
smoothly.
I'll give it another shot as far as compilation on a different machine
instead of the server.
I'm not running kerberos or hesiod or anything like that... btw.
Thanks a bunch for your help ... maybe I can snag the 5.2 binaries from
you then if they seem to work? I wonder if dumb NIS stuff is mussing
with things...
OH well... thanks again!
