Common NIS+ Namespace Error Messages
In this chapter, problems are grouped according to type. For each problem there is a list of common symptoms, a description of the problem, and one or more suggested solutions.
In addition, Appendix A, NIS+ Error Messages contains an alphabetic listing of the more common NIS+ error messages.
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.
