Configuring and Administering NIS+
Setting Up the NIS+ Namespace
Chapter 5218
To fix this problem, increase the swap space and checkpoint the
domain again.
9. Reboot the host to force long-running processes to read the new
/etc/nsswitch.conf file. (The nisserver script copies
/etc/nsswitch.nisplus to /etc/nsswitch.conf.)
The nispopulate script populates the cred table from the passwd and
hosts files or NIS maps. Every NIS+ principal except the root user on
the root master server is given the default NIS+ password, which is
nisplus. (The credentials for the root user on the root master server
were created using the root password.) When you run the nisclient
script to initialize a client host in the root domain, the nisclient script
will change the client’s credentials to use the client’s root password
instead of the default NIS+ password. See “To Set Up NIS+ Client Hosts”
on page 220.
For more information, see the following man pages: nispopulate(1M),
nispasswd(1), niscat(1), nisping(1M), and nis(1).
