Before you can use the nisclient script to initialize a user:
The domain must have already been configured and its master server must be running.
The master server of the domain's tables must be populated. (At a minimum, the host's table must have an entry for the new client machine.)
You must have initialized a client machine in the domain.
You must be logged in as a user on the client machine. In this example, the user is named user1.
You need:
The domain name (sales.doc.com., in this example)
The default Secure RPC password (nisplus)
The root password of the machine that will become the client
The IP address of the NIS+ server (in the client's home domain) (in this example, the address of the master server, client2)
