How to Populate the NIS+ Tables From NIS Maps

If populating from NIS maps, you need the following information.

• The new NIS+ domain name

• The NIS domain name

• The NIS server's name

• The IP address of the NIS server

• The root password of the NIS+ master server

The NIS domain name is case-sensitive, while the NIS+ domain name is not.

To populate master server tables from NIS maps, type the following commands.

client2# nispopulate -Y -d sales.doc.com. -h businessmachine -a 
IP_addr_of_NIS_server -y business.doc.com.
NIS+ Domain name : sales.doc.com.
NIS (YP) domain : business.doc.com.
NIS (YP) server hostname : businessmachine
Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change)

See How to Populate the NIS+ Root Master Server Tables for additional information.
