NAME
nissetup - initialize a NIS+ domain
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/nis/nissetup [ -Y ][domain ]
DESCRIPTION
nissetup is a shell script that sets up a NIS+ domain to serve clients that wish to store system adminis-
tration information in a domain named domain. This domain should already exist prior to executing this
command (see nismkdir(1) and nisinit(1M)).
A NIS+ domain consists of a NIS+ directory and its subdirectories: org_dir and groups_dir.
org_dir stores system administration information and groups_dir stores information for group access
control.
nissetup creates the subdirectories org_dir and groups_dir in domain. Both subdirectories will
be replicated on the same servers as the parent domain. After the subdirectories are created, nissetup
creates the default tables that NIS+ serves. These are auto_master, auto_home, bootparams ,
cred, ethers, group, hosts, mail_aliases
, netmasks, networks, passwd, protocols,
rpc, services, and timezone. The nissetup
script uses the nistbladm(1) command to create these
tables. The script can be easily customized to add site specific tables that should be created at setup time.
This command is normally executed just once per domain.
Options
-Y Specify that the domain will be served as both a NIS+ domain as well as an NIS domain using the
backward compatibility flag. This will set up the domain to be less secure by making all the system
tables readable by unauthenticated clients as well.

nis+(1), nismkdir(1), nistbladm(1), nisaddent(1M), nisinit(1M), nisserver(1M).
NOTES
While this command creates the default tables, it does not initialize them with data. This is accomplished
with the nisaddent(1M) command.
It is easier to use the nisserver(1M) script to create subdirectories and the default tables.
