Storing Network Information

The Security Families tool in the Solaris Management Console stores template definitions in the tnrhtp(4) database and stores template to host assignments in the tnrhdb(4) database. The Interface Manager stores network interface definitions in the tnidb(4) file.

The Trusted Solaris version of the name service switch file, nsswitch.conf(4), includes entries for tnrhtp and tnrhdb, which should be modified to suit each site's configuration. The default for NIS+ is shown below.

# TSOL
tnrhtp: files nisplus
tnrhdb: files nisplus

To modify these entries, the System Administrator role uses the Name Service Switch action. See "To Launch Local Administrative Actions", if needed, for how to access the Name Service Switch action. To preserve the required file attributes (owner, group, mode and label), the role should not edit the nsswitch.conf file directly.
