nisfiles(4) nisfiles(4)
Currently, NIS+ does not automatically do checkpointing. The system administrator may want
to do nisping-C (see nisping(1M)) operations periodically (such as, once a day) to checkpoint
the log file. This can be done either through a cron(1M) job, or manually.
hostname/root_dir
On root servers, this file stores the database associated with the root directory. It is similar to
other table databases. The corresponding log file is called root_dir.log .
hostname/cred.org_dir
This table contains the credentials of principals in this NIS+ domain.
hostname/groups_dir
This table contains the group authorization objects needed by NIS+ to authorize group access.
hostname/serving_list
This file contains a list of all NIS+ directories that are being served by the NIS+ server on this
server. When this server is added or deleted from any NIS+ directory object, this file is updated
by the server.
