If the ypserv daemon on the NIS master is disabled, you can no longer update any of the NIS maps.
To disable NIS on a client, type the following:
# svcadm disable network/nis/domain # svcadm disable network/nis/client
To disable NIS on a specific slave or master server, type the following on the server:
# svcadm disable network/nis/domain # svcadm disable network/nis/server
