Common NIS+ Namespace Error Messages
The nisln command creates symbolic links between NIS+ objects such as tables and directories. All NIS+ administration commands accept the -L flag, which directs them to follow links between NIS+ objects.
Note - Do not link table entries. Tables may be linked to other tables, but do not link an entry in one table to an entry in another table.
To create a link to another object (table or directory), you must have modify rights to the source object; that is, the one that will point to the other object or entry.
 | Caution - Never link a cred table. Each org_dir directory should have its own cred table. Do not use a link to some other org_dir cred table. |
To create a link, use:
nisln source target
Table 19-9 nisln Options
|
To create a link between objects such as tables and directories, specify both object names: first the source, and then the target. Do not link table entries.
nisln source-object target-object
