nisd_resolv(1m) -- NIS+ service daemon
|
|
The rpc.nisd daemon is an RPC service that implements the NIS+ service. This daemon must be running on all machines that serve a portion of the NIS+ namespace. rpc.nisd is usually started from a system startup script. rpc.nisd_resolv is an auxillary process that is started by rpc.nisd when it is invoked with -B option. Note that rpc.nisd_resolv should not be started independently. |

niserror(1) -- display NIS+ error messages
|
|
niserror prints the NIS+ error associated with status value error-num on the standard output. It is used by shell scripts to translate NIS+ error numbers that are returned into text messages. |
|
|
nisgrep(1) -- utilities for searching NIS+ tables
|
|
nismatch and nisgrep can be used to search NIS+ tables. The command nisgrep differs from the nismatch command in its ability to accept regular expressions keypat for the search criteria rather than simple text matches. Because nisgrep uses a callback function, it is not constrained to searching only those columns that are specifically made searchable at the time of table creation. This makes it mo... |

nisgrpadm(1) -- NIS+ group administration command
|
|
nisgrpadm is used to administer NIS+ groups. This command administers both groups and the groups' membership lists. nisgrpadm can create, destroy, or list NIS+ groups. nisgrpadm can be used to administer a group's membership list. It can add or delete principals to the group, or test principals for membership in the group. The names of NIS+ groups are syntactically similar to names of NIS+ objec... |
|
nisinit(1m) -- NIS+ client and server initialization utility
|
|
nisinit initializes a machine to be a NIS+ client or an NIS+ root master server. It may be easier to use nisclient(1M) or nisserver(1M) to accomplish this same task. |
|
nisln(1) -- symbolically link NIS+ objects
|
|
The nisln command links an NIS+ object named name to an NIS+ name linkname. If name is an indexed name (see nismatch(1)), the link points to entries within an NIS+ table. Clients wishing to look up information in the name service can use the FOLLOW_LINKS flag to force the client library to follow links to the name they point to. Further, all of the NIS+ administration commands accept the -L switch... |
|
nislog(1m) -- display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log
|
|
nislog displays the contents of the NIS+ server transaction log on the standard output. This command can be used to track changes in the namespace. The /var/nis/hostname.log file contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server. hostname.log file contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server. .log file contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server. hostname is t... |
|
nisls(1) -- list the contents of an NIS+ directory
|
|
For each name that is an NIS+ directory, nisls lists the contents of the directory. For each name that is an NIS+ object other than a directory, nisls simply echos the name. If no name is specified, the first directory in the search path (see nisdefaults(1)) is listed. |
|
nismatch(1) -- utilities for searching NIS+ tables
|
|
nismatch and nisgrep can be used to search NIS+ tables. The command nisgrep differs from the nismatch command in its ability to accept regular expressions keypat for the search criteria rather than simple text matches. Because nisgrep uses a callback function, it is not constrained to searching only those columns that are specifically made searchable at the time of table creation. This makes it mo... |
|
nismkdir(1) -- create NIS+ directories
|
|
The nismkdir command creates new NIS+ subdirectories within an existing domain. It can also be used to create replicated directories. Without options, this command will create a subdirectory with the same master and the replicas as its parent directory. It is advisable to use nisserver(1M) to create an NIS+ domain which consists of the specified directory along with the org_dir and groups_dir subd... |
|
nispasswd(1) -- change NIS+ password information
|
|
nispasswd changes a password, gecos (finger) field (-goption), home directory (-hoption), or login shell (-soption) associated with the username (invoker by default) in the NIS+ passwd table. Additionally, the command can be used to view or modify aging information associated with the user specified if the invoker has the right NIS+ privileges. nispasswd uses secure RPC to communicate with the NIS... |
|
nispasswdd(1m) -- NIS+ password update daemon
|
|
rpc.nispasswdd daemon is an ONC+ RPC service that services password update requests from nispassw . It updates password entries in the NIS+ passwd table. rpc.nispasswdd is normally started from a system startup script after the NIS+ server (rpc.nisd(1M)) has been started. rpc.nispasswdd will determine whether it is running on a machine that is a master server for one or more NIS+ directories. If i... |
|
nisping(1m) -- send ping to NIS+ servers
|
|
In the first SYNOPSIS line, the nisping command sends a ping to all replicas of a NIS+ directory. Once a replica receives a ping, it will check with the master server for the directory to get updates. Prior to pinging the replicas, this command attempts to determine the last update "seen" by a replica and the last update logged by the master. If these two timestamps are the same, the ping is not... |
|
nispopulate(1m) -- populate the NIS+ tables in a NIS+ domain.
|
|
The nispopulate shell script can be used to populate NIS+ tables in a specified domain from their corresponding files or NIS maps. nispopulate assumes that the tables have been created either through nisserver(1M) or nissetup(1M). The table argument accepts standard names that are used in the administration of HP-UX systems and non-standard key-value type tables. See nisaddent(1M) for more informa... |
|
nisrm(1) -- remove NIS+ objects from the namespace
|
|
The nisrm command removes NIS+ objects named name from the NIS+ namespace. This command will fail if the NIS+ master server is not running. |
