21.3 NIS+
21.3.5 Configuration
The familiar yp* commands have been replaced with commands beginning with nis. The NIS+ administrative commands are located in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /usr/lib/nis.
Starting with SunOS 5.3 Sun has added some scripts to assist you in setting up an NIS+ system. These scripts can be found in /usr/lib/nis. They automate setting up servers, clients, and populating NIS+ tables. The scripts are:
- nisserver set up NIS+ servers, root master, non-root master, and replica servers
- nisclient initialize NIS+ credentials for hosts and users
- nispopulate populate NIS+ tables from files or NIS maps
