Setting Up the NIS+ Namespace
An NIS+ namespace may be “flat,” consisting of a single domain, or it
may be hierarchical, like the HP-UX directory structure. Every
namespace has exactly one root domain. All other domains are
subdomains of the root domain.
This section explains how to perform the following tasks. Only the first
six tasks are required to set up a “flat” namespace consisting of a single
domain.
• To Set Up the Root Master Server
• To Populate the NIS+ Tables on the Master Server
• To Add Administrators to the NIS+ admin Group
• To Set Up NIS+ Client Hosts
• To Set Up NIS+ Replica Servers
• To Initialize NIS+ Client Users
• To Set Up an NIS+ Subdomain
• To Use BIND With NIS+
• To Allow an NIS+ User Authenticated Access to Another Domain
