NIS+ Error Messages
Appendix A 381
Other possible causes are as follows:
• Coldstart file corruption. Delete the /var/nis/NIS_COLD_START file
and then reboot.
• Cache problem such as the local cache being out of date. Kill the
nis_cachemgr and remove /var/nis/NIS_SHARD_DIR_CACHE, and
then reboot. If the problem is not in the root directory, you may be
able to simply kill the domain cache manager and try the command
again.
• Someone removed the directory from a replica.
This message is generated by the NIS+ error code constant NIS_NOT_ME.
See the nis_tables(3N) and nis_names(3N) man pages for more
information.
Named object is not searchable
The table name resolved to an NIS+ object that was not searchable.
This message is generated by the NIS+ error code constant
NIS_NOTSEARCHABLE. See the nis_tables(3N) man page for more
information.
Name/entry isn't unique
An operation has been requested based on a specific search criterion that
returns more than one entry (for example, if you used nistbladm -r to
delete a user from the passwd table, and there were two entries in the
table for that user name).
You can apply your command to multiple entries by using the -R option
to nistbladm instead of -r.
NisDirCacheEntry::write: xdr_directory_obj failed
The most likely causes for this message are the following:
• An attempt to allocate system memory failed. See “If You Have
Insufficient Memory or Disk Space” on page 321.
• If your system does not seem to be short of memory, call your HP
support contact.
