Prerequisites to Configuring NIS+ Servers

• The root domain must already be configured (see Chapter 5, Setting Up the NIS+ Root Domain).

• The server must have already been initialized as an NIS+ client (see Chapter 6, Configuring NIS+ Clients).

• To configure a server you must be logged in as superuser on that machine.

• For the server to run in NIS-compatibility mode and support DNS forwarding, it must have a properly configured /etc/resolv.conf file.
