Changing rpc.nisd Syntax Options
By default, the NIS+ daemon starts with security level 2 and runs in normal mode. If you want to include specific options when you invoke the rpc.nisd daemon with the Service Management Facility, modify the /lib/svc/method/nisplus file to include the desired options. See NIS+ and the Service Management Facility for more information.
Descriptions of some common rpc.nisd syntax options are included in Table 18–3.
Table 18–3 Common rpc.nisd Syntax Options|
Option |
Purpose |
|---|---|
|
-Y |
Specifies that the daemon run in NIS-compatibility mode, which enables it to answer requests from NIS clients. You can start the NIS+ daemon in NIS-compatibility mode in any server, including the root master. |
|
-B |
Adds DNS forwarding capabilities to an NIS+ daemon running in NIS-compatibility mode. This option requires that the /etc/resolv.conf file be set up for communication with a DNS nameserver. |
|
-S security-level |
Specifies a security level, where 0 means no NIS+ security and 2 provides full NIS+ security. (Level 1 is not supported.) |
|
-F |
Forces a checkpoint of the directory served by the daemon. This has the side effect of emptying the directory's transaction log and freeing disk space. |
