NIS_GROUP This variable contains the name of the local NIS+ group. If the name is not fully

qualiﬁed, the default domain will be appended to it.

NIS_PATH This variable overrides the default NIS+ directory search path. It contains an ordered

list of directories separated by ’:’ (colon) characters. The ’$’ (dollar sign) character is

treated specially. Directory names that end in ’$’ have the default domain appended to

them, and a ’$’ by itself is replaced by the list of directories between the default domain

and the global root that are at least two levels deep. The default NIS+ directory search

path is ’$’.

Refer to the Name Expansion subsection in nis+(1) for more details.

vices based on LDAP.
