How to Set Global Preferences for an Individual NIS+ Machine

1. Run nisprefadm with the -G, and -C machine options.

   #nisprefadm -G -a -C machine servers (preferences)

   Where:

   • -C machine identifies the machine the preferences will apply to. (Depending on the shell you are using, you may need to enclose machine in quotes.)

   • servers(preferences) are one or more servers with optional preference ranking numbers.

     For example, to replace the current preferences for the machine cygnus with replica7 and replica9 both with a default preference number of zero, type the following.

   polaris# nisprefadm -u -G -C cygnus replica7 replica9
