-t netid Use netid as the transport for communication between
rpc.nisd and
rpc.nisd_resolv.
The default transport is
tcp.
-v Verbose. With this option, the daemon sends a running narration of what it is doing to the
syslog daemon (see syslogd(1M)) at
LOG_INFO priority. This option is most useful for debug-
ging problems with the service (see also -A
option).
EXAMPLES
The following example sets up the NIS+ service.
rpc.nisd
The following example sets up the NIS+ service, emulating YP with DNS forwarding.
rpc.nisd -YB
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
NETPATH The transports that the NIS+ service will use can be limited by setting this environment
variable (see netconfig(4)).
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.
