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

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

which 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.

The following lists 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.
