For the default system behavior:
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=continue TRYAGAIN=continue] files
NIS+ is obsoleted on HP-UX 11i Version 3 and is no longer supported. LDAP is the recommended
replacement for NIS+. HP fully supports the industry standard naming services based on LDAP.
Obsolescence
The
ipnodes directive may not be supported in future HP-UX releases. In order to minimize the impact
to applications, it is recommended that you have the same configuration for the
hosts and the ipnodes
directives.
