To Remove an NIS+ Table
1. Issue the following command from any NIS+ client host, to remove
all the entries in the table:
nistbladm -R ’[],tablename’
The following example removes all the entries from the
mail_aliases table in the Wiz.Com. domain:
nistbladm -R ’[],mail_aliases.org_dir.Wiz.Com.’
2. Issue the following command from any NIS+ client host to remove
the table:
nistbladm -d tablename
The following example removes the mail_aliases table from the
Wiz.Com. domain:
nistbladm -d mail_aliases.org_dir.Wiz.Com.
If the table is in the default domain, you do not have to specify the fully
qualified domain with the table name, but you still have to include
“org_dir” in the table name.
A table must be empty before you can remove it.
To remove a table, you must have destroy permission for the NIS+
directory where the table resides.
For more information, type man 1 nistbladm at the HP-UX prompt.
