ProcedureHow to Change Incorrect Information When Setting Up NIS+

If you typed n because some or all of the information returned to you was wrong in Step 4 in the above procedure, you will see the following:


Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change)
 n
Domain name: [doc.com.]

  1. Press Return if the domain name is correct; otherwise, type the correct domain name and press Return.

    In this example, Return was pressed, confirming that doc.com. is the desired domain name. The script then prompts for the NIS+ group name.


    Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change)
 n
Domain name: [doc.com.]
NIS+ group: [admin.doc.com.]

  2. Press Return if NIS+ group is correct; otherwise, type the correct NIS+ group name and press Return.

    In this example, the name was changed. The script then prompts for NIS compatibility.


    NIS+ group: [admin.doc.com.] netadmin.doc.com.
NIS (YP) compatibility (0=off, 1=on): [0]

  3. Press Return if you do not want NIS compatibility; otherwise, type 1 and press Return.

    In this example, Return was pressed, confirming that NIS compatibility status is correct. Once again, the script asks you if the information is correct.

    Note –

    If you choose to make this server NIS compatible, you also need to edit a file and restart the rpc.nisd daemon before it will work. See Configuring a Client as an NIS+ Server for more information.


    NIS (YP) compatibility (0=off, 1=on): [0]
Domain name : doc.com.
NIS+ group : netadmin.doc.com.
NIS (YP) compatibility : OFF
Security level : 2=DES
Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change)

    When the information is correct, continue with Step 3 in How to Create an NIS+ Root Master Server. You can keep choosing -n until the information is correct.
