Virden) Organization: Ham BBS, Columbus,Oh. 614-457-4227 (300/1200,8N1) Lines: 14 I have two questions. First, can anyone explain why Yellow Pages requires the files served to be in a DBM format? Secondly, does anyone know of a similar service that could be used for non-dbm files? For instance, if for administrative reasons I did NOT want to NFS mount the /usr/man and /usr/local/man pages but instead distribute them in a manner similar to Yellow Pages, what could I do to achieve this?
