ONCplus B.11.31.18 Release Notes (762806-002, June 2014)

• 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 can 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 known only to the administrator.
