The script did not find the NIS+ table tablename.
•If tablename is spelled incorrectly, rerun the script with the correct
table name.

standard NIS+ tables, use nissetup to create the table. Or use
nistbladm to create the private table tablename. Then rerun the
script to populate this table.
•If the tablename table exists, the error may have been caused by the
NIS+ server being temporarily busy. Rerun the script to populate
this tablename table.

tables. You cannot have an username same as the hostname.

either the passwd or hosts table. Then, rerun nisclient -c.

name.
