ONCplus B.11.31.02 Release Notes

• Ipnodes Support
Ipnodes is the new map that stores IPv6 information. Ipnodes acts as the new hosts database
for IPv6 information. NIS provides support for ipnodes using the /etc/nsswitch.conf
file.
• Alternate Directory for passwd File
Users may now specify a directory other than the default /etc directory where NIS must
look for the passwd file. This feature enhances the security of the system as information
regarding this alternate directory is only known to the administrator.
Software Availability in Native Languages
