B NIS Configuration File /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs

The /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file is the main NIS configuration file, through which the

NIS services can be enabled or disabled and appropriate options can be provided for the NIS

service. It also contains a list of the NIS maps built in the domain.

Following is a listing of the/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file:

# @(#)B.11.31_LR namesvrs $Revision: $

unset UNIX95

PRE_U95=true;export PRE_U95;

# The DNS variables "NAMED" and "NAMED_ARGS" are removed from this file.

# These variables are now available in the file /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs_dns.

# Name server using Network Information Service protocol (Sun's ONC)

# NIS_MASTER_SERVER: 1 if this node is the master NIS server, 0 if not.

# NIS_SLAVE_SERVER: 1 if this node is a slave NIS server, 0 if not.

# NIS_CLIENT: 1 if this node is a NIS client, 0 if not.

# NISDOMAIN: the NIS domain name (see domainname(1)).

# NISDOMAIN_ERR: ???

# MAX_NISCHECKS= max number of bind attempts the NIS client will make

# YPSERV_OPTIONS command line options for ypserv

# YPBIND_OPTIONS command line options for ypbind

# YPPASSWDD_OPTIONS command line options for yppasswdd

# KEYSERV_OPTIONS command line options for keyserv

# YPUPDATED_OPTIONS command line options for ypupdated

# YPXFRD_OPTIONS command line options for ypxfrd

# YPSET_ADDR IP addr or name of NIS server. Must set YPBIND_OPTIONS

# to "-ypset"

# LONGNAMES_OPTIONS

# SHORTNAMES_OPTIONS

# SHADOW_MODE 1 if shadow mode is to be enabled, 0 if not.

# Note: - Setting SHADOW_MODE is one of the criteria for deciding whether

# the system should be in shadow mode or standard mode. Applications

# ultimately checks for the existence of a shadow file also to

# determine the mode of the system.

# Note: - NIS_MASTER_SERVER and NIS_SLAVE_SERVER are mutually exclusive,

# i.e., only one, not both, should be set if either is set.

# - All NIS servers must also be NIS clients, so if you set either

# NIS_MASTER_SERVER or NIS_SLAVE_SERVER to 1, you should set

# NIS_CLIENT to 1, too.

# - Refer to NFS administration manual and ypinit(1M) for the

# steps required to create NIS servers.

# MAX_NISCHECKS

# The maximum number of bind attempts the

# NIS client will make for a NIS server to be

# available before shutting down NIS and

# booting without it. This value should

# not be less than 2.
