The nisln Command
The nisln command creates symbolic links between NIS+ objects such as tables and directories. All NIS+ administration commands accept the -L flag, which directs them to follow links between NIS+ objects.
Note -
Do not link table entries. Tables may be linked to other tables, but do not link an entry in one table to an entry in another table.
To create a link to another object (table or directory), you must have modify rights to the source object; that is, the one that will point to the other object or entry.
Caution - Never link a cred table. Each org_dir directory should have its own cred table. Do not use a link to some other org_dir cred table.
Syntax
To create a link, use:
nisln source target |
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
-L |
Follow links. If the source is itself a link, the new link will not be linked to it, but to that link's original source. |
|
-D |
Defaults. Specify a different set of defaults for the linked object. Defaults are described in "Specifying Nondefault Security Values at Creation Time". |
Creating a Link
To create a link between objects such as tables and directories, specify both object names: first the source, and then the target. Do not link table entries.
