How to Set Up a New User Key That Uses NIS+ Credentials for Diffie-Hellman Authentication

1. Add the user to the cred table on the root master server by typing the following command:

   # nisaddcred -p unix.UID@domain-name -P username.domain-name. des

   Note that, in this case, the username.domain-name must end with a dot (.)

2. Verify the setup by logging in as the client and typing the keylogin command.
