Administering NIS+
Chapter 5232
To List the Properties of NIS+ Objects
• To list the object properties of any NIS+ directory, table, table entry,
group, or link, issue the following command from an NIS+ client
host:
niscat -o NIS+_object
For example, to list the object properties of the passwd table entry for
user jane in the default domain, you would issue this command:
niscat -o ’[name=jane],passwd.org_dir’
The niscat -o command gives you information about the object,
including its owner, group owner, and permissions. If the NIS+ object is a
table, the niscat -o command gives the number of columns in the table,
the names of the columns, and the permissions for each column.
For more information, type man 1 niscat at the HP-UX prompt.
