Solaris Naming Administration Guide

Cannot Remove a Context You Created

Symptom:

When you run fndestroy on the host or user context the context is not removed.

Possible Cause:

You do not own the host or user context. When you create a user or host context it is owned by the host or user, and not by the administrator who set up the namespace.

Diagnosis:

Check the NIS_GROUP environment variable.

Solution:

The NIS_GROUP environment variable needs to be set to the group name of the administrator who will administer the contexts.
