NIS Daemons
The NIS service is provided by the daemons shown in the following table. The NIS service is
managed by SMF. Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or restarting,
can be performed by using the svcadm command. For an overview of SMF, refer to
Chapter 1, Introduction to the Service Management Facility, in Managing System Services in Oracle Solaris 11.2
. Also refer to the

Table 5-1 NIS Daemons | |

nscd
| A client service that provides a cache for most name service
requests, which is managed by the svc:/system/name-service/cache service
|
|
| The NIS password update daemon managed by the svc:/network/nis/passwd service Note - The rpc.yppasswdd daemon considers
all shells that begin with an r to be restricted.
For example, if you are in /bin/rksh, you are not
allowed to change from that shell to another shell. If you have a
shell that begins with r but is not intended to
be restricted as such, refer to Chapter 8, Troubleshooting Network Information System for the workaround.
