When you create an object, NIS+ assigns the object a default owner and group, and a default set of access rights for all four classes. The default owner is the NIS+ principal who creates the object. The default group is the group named in the NIS_GROUP environment variable. Table 15–6, shows the default access rights.

If you have the NIS_DEFAULTS environment variable set, the values specified in NIS_DEFAULTS will determine the defaults that are applied to new objects. When you create an object from the command line, you can use the -D flag to specify values other than the default values.
