NIS+ Error Messages
Appendix A 385
If the user is not listed in the passwd table, use nistbladm or
nisaddent to add the user to the passwd table before creating the
credential.
Non NIS+ namespace encountered
The name could not be completely resolved. This usually indicates that
the name passed to the function resolves to a namespace that is outside
the NIS+ name tree. In other words, the name is contained in an
unknown directory. When this occurs, this error is returned with an
NIS+ object of type DIRECTORY.
This message is generated by the NIS+ error code constant
NIS_FOREIGNNS. See the nis_tables(3N) or nis_names(3N) man pages
for more information.
Not found
String Not found
Names context: the named object does not exist in the namespace.
Table context: no entries in the table matched the search criteria. If the
search criteria was null (return all entries), then this result means that
the table is empty and may safely be removed.
If the FOLLOW_PATH flag was set, this error indicates that none of the
tables in the path contain entries that match the search criteria.
This message is generated by the NIS+ error code constant
NIS_NOTFOUND. See the nis_tables(3N) and nis_names(3N) man pages
for more information.
See also “If NIS+ Cannot Find an Object” on page 316.
Not Found no such name
This hard error indicates that the named directory of the table object
does not exist. This could occur when the server that should be the
parent of the server that serves the table does not know about the
directory in which the table resides.
This message is generated by the NIS+ error code constant
NIS_NOSUCHNAME. See the nis_names(3N) and nis_names(3N) man pages
for more information.
