Fri Dec 6 16:26:34 PST 2002 — DB replacing NIS. We have begun deploying Berkeley DB hashes across systems that normally use NIS for their system databases. Currently the mail servers and the spamassassin servers are using DB, with NIS as a backup. This change means improved performance for services like popmail and sendmail, as well as more robust performance when the servers are under high load. -Scott and Kelsey
