Configuring NIS+ Servers

This chapter provides step-by-step procedures for using the NIS+ commands to set up NIS+ servers (except the root master) and add replica servers to existing NIS+ domains.


Note - NIS+ might not be supported in a future release. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available as of the Solaris 9 release. For more information, see System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP) and visit NIS+ End-of-Feature (EOF) Announcement FAQ.
