The niscat command displays the contents of an NIS+ table. However, you can also use it to display the object properties of the table. You must have read rights to the table, entries, or columns that you wish to display.
To display the contents of a table, use:
niscat [-hM] tablename |
To display the object properties of a table, use:
niscat -o tablename niscat -o entry |
