    Dear managers

    Can anybody recommend a simple way to remove a client from a NIS
    domain? I've waded through pages of stuff on the web, but all of it
    seems to refer to creating NIS domains and adding clients to them,
    not dismantling them. Also a lot of it is specifically for Solaris,
    HP-UX or Linux where the setup is more than subtly different to
    Tru64. The domain I am trying to dismantle has another Tru64 machine
    as its master server, and was created by a predecessor in about
    1998. There are no slave servers.

    All answers, as always, much appreciated.

    Derek
