NIS Commands Supported in the Solaris 2.x Release
Only some NIS commands are supported in the Solaris 2.x release. NIS server commands are not shipped with the Solaris 2.x release. Only the NIS client commands are included. Whether these NIS commands run also depends on whether a Solaris 2.x NIS client is making requests of an NIS server or of an NIS+ server in NIS-compatibility mode. NIS clients cannot make updates to NIS+ servers that are running in NIS-compatibility mode. For example, such clients cannot run the chkey and newkey commands. Table 4-2 lists the NIS commands supported in the Solaris 2.x release.
