Solaris Naming Setup and Configuration Guide

The Solaris Naming Administration Guide describes how to set up and configure NIS+, NIS, FNS, and DNS name services in a Solaris environment. It provides network planning instructions and step-by-step set up and configuration instructions for each of the four name services. It also describes the name service switch file (nsswitch.conf) and how to use it to coordinate the use of multiple naming services in a single environment.
