NIS+ Running in NIS Compatibility Mode Considerations

Solaris Print Manager is not able to update a NIS+ master name server running in NIS (yp) compatability mode from a system running the NIS name service.

The NIS+ daemon running in NIS-compatability mode only responds to requests for a limited set of NIS maps that does not include printers.conf.byname.

The only name service choice available in this scenario is files.

See rpc.nisd(1M) for information about NIS compatiblity (the -Y option).
