NAME

6       nissetup - initialize a NIS+ domain

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/lib/nis/nissetup [-Y] [domain]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       nissetup  is  a  shell  script  that  sets  up a NIS+ domain to service
14       clients that wish to  store  system  administration  information  in  a
15       domain  named domain. This domain should already exist prior to execut‐
16       ing this command. See nismkdir(1) and nisinit(1M).
17
18
19       A NIS+ domain consists of a  NIS+  directory  and  its  subdirectories:
20       org_dir  and  groups_dir. org_dir stores system administration informa‐
21       tion and groups_dir stores information for group access control.
22
23
24       nissetup creates the subdirectories org_dir and groups_dir  in  domain.
25       Both  subdirectories will be replicated on the same servers as the par‐
26       ent domain. After the subdirectories are created, nissetup creates  the
27       default  tables  that  NIS+  serves.  These are auto_master, auto_home,
28       bootparams, cred, ethers, group, hosts,  mail_aliases,  netmasks,  net‐
29       works,  passwd,  protocols,  rpc,  services, and timezone. The nissetup
30       script uses the nistbladm(1) command to create these tables. The script
31       can  be  easily customized to add site specific tables that are created
32       at setup time.
33
34
35       This command is normally executed just once per domain.
36
37
38       While this command creates the default tables, it does  not  initialize
39       them with data. This is accomplished with the nisaddent(1M) command.
40
41
42       It  is  easier to use the nisserver(1M) script to create subdirectories
43       and the default tables.
44

OPTIONS

46       -Y    Specify that the domain will be served as both a NIS+  domain  as
47             well as an NIS domain using the backward compatibility flag. This
48             will set up the domain to be less secure by making all the system
49             tables readable by unauthenticated clients as well.

NOTES

69       NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris Operating
70       system.  Tools  to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available in
71       the   current   Solaris   release.   For   more   information,    visit
