Use the following steps to bind to an NIS server that you specify. For more information, see the ypinit(1M), ypstart(1M), and svcadm(1M) man pages.
Add the host name of the NIS server and its IP address to the /etc/hosts file.
Verify that the DNS domain name is set.
# svcprop -p config/domainname svc:/network/nis/domain:default example.com
Prompt for the NIS server host name.
# /usr/sbin/ypinit -c Server name: Type the NIS server host name
Restart the NIS services by performing one of the following steps:
For the services to persist across reboots, run the svcadm command.
# svcadm enable svc:/network/nis/client
For the services to persist until reboot only, run the ypstop and ypstart commands.
# /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstop # /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart
