NIS Commands Supported in the Solaris 2 and Solaris 7 Releases

Only some NIS commands are supported in the Solaris 2 and Solaris 7 releases. NIS server commands are not shipped with the Solaris 2 and Solaris 7 releases. Only the NIS client commands are included. Whether these NIS commands run also depends on whether a Solaris 2 or Solaris 7 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 and Solaris 7 operating environments.
