Environment Variables
NIS_DEFAULTS This variable contains a defaults string that will override the NIS+ standard defaults. If
the -D switch is used, those values will then override both the
NIS_DEFAULTS vari-
able and the standard defaults.
NIS_PATH If this variable is set and the NIS+ directory name is not fully qualified, each directory
specified will be searched until the directory is found (see nisdefaults(1)).
WARNINGS
HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the last HP-UX release on which NIS+ is supported.
LDAP is the recommended replacement for NIS+. HP fully supports the industry standard naming ser-
vices based on LDAP.

nis+(1), nischmod(1), nisdefaults(1), nisls(1), nisrmdir(1), nisserver(1M).
NOTES
A host that serves an NIS+ directory must be an NIS+ client in a directory above the one it is serving. The
exceptions to this rule are the root NIS+ servers which are both clients and servers of the same NIS+ direc-
tory.
When the host’s default domain is different from the default domain on the client where the command is
executed, the hostname supplied as an argument to the -s or -m options must be fully qualified.
