HP-UX Reference (11i v2 04/09) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

r
rpc.nisd(1M) rpc.nisd(1M)
-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).
-z number
Specify the maximum RPC record size that can be used over connection-oriented transports.
The default is 9000 bytes. If a size less than the default value is specified, then the default
value is used as the maximum record size. The maximum value that can be used is that of
MAXINT. This option can be used in environments where the size of an incoming client
request is expected to exceed 9000 bytes. The maximum RPC record size should be set equal
to or slightly greater than the maximum expected RPC request size. All servers in the domain
should have the same setting. To avoid unnecessary consumption of resources, avoid setting
this value significantly above the maximum request size required.
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.
FILES
/var/nis/parent.object
This file contains an XDR encoded NIS+ object that describes the
namespace above a root server. This parent namespace may be another
NIS+ namespace or a foreign namespace such as one served by the
Domain Name Service. It is only present on servers that are serving the
root of the namespace.
/var/nis/root.object
This file contains an XDR encoded NIS+ object that describes the root of
the namespace. It is only present on servers that are serving the root of
the namespace.
/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs
initialization script for NIS+
