Prerequisites

• The root domain must already be configured (see Chapter 5, Setting Up the Root Domain).

• The server must have already been initialized as an NIS+ client (see Chapter 6, Configuring NIS+ Clients).

• To configure a server you must be logged in as superuser on that machine.

• For the server to run in NIS-compatibility mode and support DNS forwarding, it must have a properly configured /etc/resolv.conf file (described in“DNS Administration (Reference)” in System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP)).
