EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
NIS_DEFAULTS This variable contains a default string that will override the NIS+ standard defaults.
If the -D switch is used, those values will then override both the
NIS_DEFAULTS
variable and the standard defaults.
NIS_PATH If this variable is set, and neither the nisdomain nor the table is fully qualified, each
directory specified in NIS_PATH will be searched until the table is found (see nisde-
faults (1)).
RETURN VALUE
nisaddent returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.
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.
