Configuring NIS+ Servers to Accept New Security Mechanism Credentials – Example

In this example, the current authentication mechanism is des and the new mechanism is dh640-0. Note the ordering is significant here; any mechanisms after the des entry will be ignored for client and server NIS+ authentication.

server# nisauthconf dh640-0 des
server# keylogin -r
		(screen notices not shown)
server# /etc/reboot
