The documentation issues in this section apply to different locations in the System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
At the end of the section, The Switch File and Password Information, the following text should be added:
Avoid maintaining multiple repositories for the same user. By maintaining centralized password management in a single repository for each user, you reduce the possibilities of confusion and error. If you choose to maintain multiple repositories per user, update password information by using the passwd -r command.
passwd -r repository |
If no repository is specified with the -r option, passwd updates the list of repositories in nsswitch.conf in reverse order.
In the LDAP Naming Services Setup and Administration section, references to the use of the ldapclient command options are incorrect. For all Solaris 9 releases, the command syntax should be changed to the following:
Incorrect Reference |
Correct Reference |
---|---|
ldapclient -l |
ldapclient list |
ldapclient -p |
ldapclient init [-a attribute name] |
ldapclient -m |
ldapclient mod |
For more information, see the ldapclient(1M) man page.
