System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (NIS+)

ProcedureHow to Modify the /lib/svc/method/nisplus File

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

    Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Chapter 9, Using Role-Based Access Control (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

  2. Stop the NIS+ service.


    # svcadm disable network/rpc/nisplus:default

  3. Open the /lib/svc/method/nisplus file.

    Use your preferred text editor.

  4. Edit the file to add the desired options.

    Example –

    Change:


    /usr/sbin/rpc.nisd $nisd_flags || exit $?

    To:


    /usr/sbin/rpc.nisd $nisd_flags -Y -B || exit $?

    In this example, the -Y and -B options are added to rpc.nisd, so the options are automatically implemented at startup.

  5. Save and quit.

  6. Start the NIS+ service.


    # svcadm enable network/rpc/nisplus:default
