Problem

The root account does not have access rights to create a table under the org_dir object.

Verification: Usually, this means the root account's principal name is not a member of the owning group for the org_dir object, or no owning group exists.

Solution:

1. Enter niscat -o org_dir to see the name of the owning group.

2. Enter nisgrpadm -l admin to see the group members.

3. If the current system's principal name is not in the group, enter nisgrpadm -a group principalname to add it.

4. Enter /usr/lib/nis/nisctl -f g to flush the cache for immediate update.
