System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (FNS and NIS+)

How to Prepare NIS Service for FNS

Before setting up the FNS namespace, do the following:

    Make sure that the hosts.byname, user.byname, and printer.conf.byname maps are complete, correct, and up to date.


Note –

You can assign a different master server for FNS maps, using the same procedure that you would to assign a different master for any other NIS map.
