How to Enable an NIS+ Client to Use IPv6

1. Log in as superuser.

2. Edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

3. Add the new ipnodes source and specify the name service (such as ldap).

   ipnodes: ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files

   ipnodes defaults to files. During the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, where all name services are not aware of IPv6 addresses, you should accept the files default. Otherwise, unnecessary delays (such as boot timing delays) might result during the resolution of addresses.

4. Save the file and reboot the workstation.

   Because the nscd daemon caches this information, which it reads at start up, you must reboot the workstation now.
