DESCRIPTION

13       nislog  displays the contents of the NIS+ server transaction log on the
14       standard output. This command can be  used  to  track  changes  in  the
15       namespace.  The  /var/nis/trans.log  file  contains the transaction log
16       maintained by the NIS+ server. When updates occur, they are  logged  to
17       this file and then propagated to replicas as log transactions. When the
18       log is checkpointed, updates that have been propagated to the  replicas
19       are removed.

22       The  nislog  command can only be run on an NIS+ server by superuser. It
23       displays the log entries for that server only.

26       If directory is not specified, the entire log is  searched.  Otherwise,
27       only  those  logs  entries that correspond to the specified directories
28       are displayed.
