NIS+ Error Messages
Appendix A 397
**WARNING: failed to add new member NIS+_principal into the
groupname group. You will need to add this member manually: 1.
/usr/sbin/nisgrpadm -a groupname NIS+_principal
The NIS+ command nisgrpadm failed to add a new member into the
NIS+ group groupname. Use the nisgrpadm command to add this NIS+
principal manually.
**WARNING: failed to populate tablename table.
The nisaddent command was unable to load the NIS+ tablename table.
A more detailed error message usually appears before this warning
message.
**WARNING: hostname specified will not be used. It will use the local
hostname instead.
This message indicates that you typed a remote host name with the -H
option. The nisserver -r script does not configure remote machines as
root master servers.
• If the local machine is the one that you want to convert to an NIS+
root master server, no other action is needed. The nisserver -r
script will ignore the host name you typed.
• If you actually want to convert the remote host (instead of the local
machine) to an NIS+ root master server, exit the script. Rerun the
nisserver -r script on the remote host.
**WARNING: hostname is already a server for this domain. If you
choose to continue with the script, it will try to replicate the groups_dir
and org_dir directories for this domain.
This is a message warning you that hostname is already a replica server
for the domain that you are trying to replicate.
• If you are running the script to fix an earlier nisserver problem,
continue running the script.
•If hostname was mistakenly entered, rerun the script with the
correct host name.
