The FNS fncreate command creates FNS tables and directories in the NIS+ hierarchy associated with the domain of the host on which the command is run. In order to run fncreate, you must be an authenticated NIS+ principle with credentials authorizing you to Read, Create, Modify, and Destroy NIS+ objects in that domain. You will be the owner of the FNS tables created by fncreate. One way to obtain this authorization is to be a member of the NIS+ group that has administrator privileges in the domain.
The NIS_GROUP
environment
variable should be set to name of the NIS+ administration group for the domain
prior to running fncreate. You can specify whether or not
individual users can make changes to FNS data that relates to them.
