Symptom:
When you run fncreate -t for the user, username, host, or hostname contexts, nothing happens.
Possible Cause:
You have not set the NIS_GROUP
environment variable. When you create a user or host context it is owned by
the host or user, and not by the administrator who set up the namespace. Therefore, fncreate requires that the NIS_GROUP
variable be set to enable the administrators who are part of
that group to subsequently manipulate the contexts.
Diagnosis:
Check the NIS_GROUP
environment
variable.
Solution:
The NIS_GROUP
environment
variable should be set to the group name of the administrators who will administer
the contexts.
