System Administration Guide: Resource Management and Network Services

Example-Listing an Individual Entry From the NIS+ mail_aliases Table

To see an individual entry from the table, follow these instructions.

  1. Either be a member of the NIS+ group that owns the table, or become root on the mail server, or assume an equivalent role.

    For information about roles, refer to "Using Privileged Applications" in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

  2. List an individual entry.


    # aliasadm -m ignatz
    ignatz: ignatz@saturn # Alias for Iggy Ignatz

    The command matches only the complete alias name, not partial strings. You cannot use metacharacters (such as * and ?) with aliasadm -m.

For more information, refer to the aliasadm(1M) man page.
