Specifying the Name Service Policy Using admtblloc

This example shows how to specify the name service policy specified in Figure 6-1 using the admtblloc command:

$ admtblloc -c NIS+ -d solar.com bootparams NONE

In this example,

After setting the mixed-mode name service policy specified in Figure 6-1, Solstice AdminSuite will use the bootparams information stored in the /etc directory on the current host running the Solstice AdminSuitetool whenever the name service (specified in the Load window) is NIS+. The name service policy for the other configuration files (hosts, ethers, timezone and credential) is NIS+, unless you specify otherwise using admtblloc again. The mixed-mode name service policy remains in effect for all users of Solstice AdminSuite in the name service until you change it using the admtblloc command once again.

If you specify that the name service location of a configuration file is NONE using the admtblloc command, the /etc file on the current host running the Solstice AdminSuite application or command-line interface is modified. You should log in to the host where you want to use the local /etc file and perform operations using the Solstice AdminSuite on that system.
