Table 4-4 shows name server-to-name server commands. The NIS server commands are not included in the Solaris 2 or Solaris 7 releases, so they are not available to either NIS+ servers or NIS+ servers in NIS-compatibility mode. In addition, an NIS server cannot make updates to an NIS+ server, nor can an NIS+ server make updates to an NIS server. Column 3 lists the NIS+ server commands that are equivalent to the NIS server commands in column 1. Servers in NIS-compatibility mode have no exact equivalents because NIS-compatibility mode refers only to client commands.
