Deleting an NIS+ Group

To delete an NIS+ group, you must have destroy rights to the groups_dir directory in the group's domain. Use the -d option:

nisgrpadm -d group-name

If the default domain is set properly, you don't have to fully-qualify the group name. However, you should check first (use nisdefaults), because you could unintentionally delete a group in another domain. The example below deletes the test.sales.doc.com. group.

salesmaster% nisgrpadm -d test.sales.doc.com.
Group `test.sales.doc.com.' destroyed.
