The fncopy command handles the FNS-related aspects of changing your underlying enterprise-level naming service from NIS to NIS+. This command copies and converts NIS-based FNS contexts to NIS+ based contexts.
fncopy [-i oldsvc -o newsvc] [-f filename] oldctx newctx |

Description |
---|---|
-i oldsvc |

For example, to copy the contexts listed in the file /etc/sales_users from the doc.com domain of a NIS-based naming service to the sales.doc.com domain of an NIS+ naming service, you would enter:
fncopy -i nis -o nisplus -f /etc/sales_users org/sales.doc.com/user |
