Changing Incorrect Information

If you typed n because some or all of the information returned to you was wrong in Step 3 in the above procedure, you will see the following:


Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change)
 n
Domain name: [doc.com.]
  1. Press Return if the domain name is correct; otherwise, type the correct domain name and press Return.

    In this example, Return was pressed, confirming that the desired domain name is doc.com. The script then prompts for the NIS+ group name.


    Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change)
     n
    Domain name: [doc.com.]
    NIS+ group: [admin.doc.com.]
  2. Press Return if NIS+ group is correct; otherwise, type the correct NIS+ group name and press Return.

    In this example, the name was changed. The script then prompts for NIS compatibility.


    NIS+ group: [admin.doc.com.] netadmin.doc.com.
    NIS (YP) compatibility (0=off, 1=on): [0]
  3. Press Return if you do not want NIS compatibility; otherwise, type 1 and press Return.

    In this example, Return was pressed, confirming that NIS compatibility status is correct. Once again, the script asks you if the information is correct.


    Note -

    If you choose to make this server NIS compatible, you also need to edit a file and restart the rpc.nisd daemon before it will work. See "Configuring a Client as an NIS+ Server" for more information.



    NIS (YP) compatibility (0=off, 1=on): [0]
    Domain name : doc.com.
    NIS+ group : netadmin.doc.com.
    NIS (YP) compatibility : OFF
    Security level : 2=DES
    Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change) 

    When the information is correct, continue with Step 3 in "Creating a Root Master Server". You can keep choosing -n until the information is correct.


    Note -

    This script sets machines up only at security level 2. You cannot change the security level when using this script. After the script has completed, you can change the security level with the appropriate NIS+ command. See Solaris Naming Administration Guide for more information on changing security levels.
