| client# rm -f /etc/.rootkey | 
Locate and kill the keyserv, nis_cachemgr, and nscd processes.
| client# ps -ef | grep keyserv root 714 1 67 16:34:44 ? keyserv client# kill -9 714 client# ps -ef | grep nis_cachemgr root 123 1 67 16:34:44 ? nis_cachemgr client# kill -9 123 client# ps -ef | grep nscd root 707 1 67 16:34:44 ? nscd client# kill -9 707 | 
Remove the /var/nis directory and files.
