This chapter describes how to administer NIS. The following topics are covered:
Note - The NIS service is managed by the Service Management Facility. Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or restarting, can be performed by using the svcadm command. See NIS and the Service Management Facility for more information about using SMF with NIS. For an overview of SMF, refer to Chapter 6, Managing Services (Overview), in Oracle Solaris Administration: Common Tasks. Also refer to the svcadm(1M) and svcs(1) man pages for more details.
NIS services can also be started and stopped by using the ypstart and ypstop commands. See the ypstart(1M) and ypstop(1M) man pages for more information.
