Greetings...

Once again I resorting to the net to make my life bearable. ;-) 

I'm about to setup a lab of DECstation 2100 workstations (around 50 or
so) running Ultrix 4.2 with the following (not cast in stone) setup:

1) Local booting off of a RZ23 (I know there are problems with
   installing some software but I can get around them).

2) Using Hesiod for distributing the passwd, group, printcap, etc, etc, files.

Is anyone out there doing either of these and if so are there any
problems with the above?  Is my life going to become a living hell or
can this stuff be made reliable?

Thanks in avance.

								Mike
