NAME

fncopy– copy FNS contexts, possibly from one naming service to another naming service

SYNOPSIS

fncopy [-f filename] [-i old-naming-service] [-o new-naming-service] old-fns-context new-fns-context

DESCRIPTION

fncopy copies recursively the FNS context, old-fns-context, and attributes to a new FNS context, new-fns-context. If -i and -o options are specified with the respective naming service, the old-fns-context with be resolved using old-naming-service as the underlying naming service, and new-fns-context will be created using new-naming-service as the underlying naming service. In the absence of -i and -o options, the default naming service will be used (see fnselect(1M)).

When the -f option is used, filename names a file containing a list of contexts in the old-fns-context that should be copied to the new-fns-context.

If the FNS context new-fns-context already exists in the target naming service, new-naming-service, this command will copy only the contexts and bindings that do not exist in the target naming service. This command will not over-write any of the existing FNS contexts in the target naming service.

This command follows links and copies FNS contexts and binding to the new-fns-context namespace.

OPTIONS

-f filename

Specifies a file name that contains a list of FNS contexts to be copied.

-i old-naming-service

Specifies the source naming service; currently only nis is supported.

-o new-naming-service

Specifies the target naming service; currently only nisplus is supported.

OPERANDS

The following operands are supported:

old-fns-context

The current FNS context.

new-fns-context

The new FNS context.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 Using the fncopy command




For example, the command

eg% fncopy . . . /fed-naming.eng.sun.com/service/printer \ . . . /sun.com/orgunit/ssi.eng/service/printer

will copy the FNS printer context . . . /fed-naming.eng.sun.com/service/printer and its subcontexts and bindings to the FNS printer context . . . /sun.com/orgunit/ssi.eng/service/printer.

In the following example,

eg% fncopy -i nis -o nisplus -f /etc/ssi-users-list \ thisorgunit/user org/ssi.eng/user

will copy the NIS FNS users' contexts specified in the file /etc/ssi-users-list to NIS+ FNS users' context of the orgunit ssi.eng.
