Common Problems with NIS+
Chapter 8 317
when you create an object, some NIS+ commands take the space as
part of the object name. Rename the object, or remove it and recreate
it without the extra space.
A table or log file may have been corrupted. Restore the file from
your most recent backup.
If you have changed the name of a domain, many NIS+ operations
will fail, because the old domain name is embedded in objects
throughout the domain. Do not change the name of an existing
domain. If you have already done so, change the name back to the
original. To rename a domain, create a new domain, initialize clients
in the new domain, and then remove the old domain.
