Common NIS+ Namespace Error Messages
The nisrm command is similar to the standard rm system command. It removes any NIS+ object from the namespace, except directories and nonempty tables. To use the nisrm command, you must have destroy rights to the object. However, if you don't, you can use the -f option, which tries to force the operation in spite of permissions.
You can remove group objects with the nisgrpadm -d command (see Deleting an NIS+ Group), and you can empty tables with nistbladm -r or nistbladm -R (see Deleting an NIS+ Table).
To remove a nondirectory object, use:
nisrm [-if] object-name

To remove nondirectory objects, use the nisrm command and provide the object names:
nisrm object-name...
This example removes a group and a table from the namespace:
rootmaster% nisrm -i admins.doc.com. groups.org_dir.doc.com. Remove admins.doc.com.? y Remove groups.org_dir.doc.com.? y
