NAME
nisserver - set up NIS+ servers.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/nis/nisserver -r [ -x ] [ -f ] [ -v ] [ -Y ] [
-d NIS+_domain ] [ -g NIS+_groupname ] [
-l network_passwd ]
/usr/lib/nis/nisserver -M [ -x ] [ -f ] [ -v ] [ -Y ]
-d NIS+_domain [ -g NIS+_groupname ] [ -
h NIS+_server_host ]
/usr/lib/nis/nisserver -R [ -x ] [ -f ] [ -v ] [ -Y ] [
-d NIS+_domain ] [ -h NIS+_server_host ]
DESCRIPTION
The nisserver shell script can be used to set up a root
master, non-root master, and replica NIS+ server with level
2 security (DES). If other authentication mechanisms are
configured with nisauthconf(1M), nisserver will set up a
NIS+ server using those mechanisms. nisauthconf(1M) should
be used before nisserver.
When setting up a new domain, this script creates the NIS+
directories (including groups_dir and org_dir) and system
table objects for the domain specified. It does not populate
the tables. nispopulate(1M) must be used to populate the
tables.
OPTIONS
-d NIS+_domain
Specifies the name for the NIS+ domain. The default
is your local domain.
-f Forces the
NIS+ server setup without prompting for confirmation.
-g NIS+_groupname
Specifies the NIS+ group name for the new domain.
This option is not valid with -R option. The default
group is admin.<domain>.
-h NIS+_server_host
Specifies the hostname for the NIS+ server. It must
be a valid host in the local domain. Use a fully
qualified hostname (for example, hostx.xyz.sun.com.)
to specify a host outside of your local domain. This
option is only used for setting up non-root master or
replica servers. The default for non-root master
server setup is to use the same list of servers as the
parent domain. The default for replica server setup is
the local hostname.

Maintenance Commands nisserver(1M)
-l network_password
Specifies the network password with which to create
the credentials for the root master server. This
option is only used for master root server setup (-r
option).
If this option is not specified, the script prompts
you for the login password.
-M Sets up the specified host as a master server. Make
sure that rpc.nisd(1M) is running on the new master
server before this command is executed.
-R Sets up the specified host as a replica server. Make
sure that rpc.nisd is running on the new replica
server.
-r Sets up the server as a root master server. Use the
-R option to set up a root replica server.
-v Runs the script in verbose mode.
-x Turns the echo mode on. The script just prints the
commands that it would have executed.
Note that the commands are not actually executed.
The default is off.
-Y Sets up a NIS+ server with NIS-compatibility mode.
The default is to set up the server without NIS-
compatibility mode.
USAGE
Use the first synopsis of the command (-r) to set up a root
master server. To run the command, you must be logged in as
super-user on the server machine.
Use the second synopsis of the command (-M) to set up a
non-root master server for the specified domain. To run the
command, you must be logged in as a NIS+ principal on a NIS+
machine and have write permission to the parent directory of
the domain that you are setting up. The new non-root master
server machine must already be an NIS+ client (see
nisclient(1M)) and have the rpc.nisd(1M) daemon running.
Use the third synopsis of the command (-R) to set up a
replica server for both root and non-root domains. To run
the command, you must be logged in as a NIS+ principal on a
NIS+ machine and have write permission to the parent direc-
tory of the domain that you are replicating. The new non-
root replica server machine must already be an NIS+ client
and have the rpc.nisd daemon running.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Setting up servers.
To set up a root master server for domain sun.com.:
root_server# /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -r -d sun.com.
For the following examples make sure that the new servers
are NIS+ clients and rpc.nisd is running on these hosts
before executing nisserver. To set up a replica server for
domain sun.com. on host sunreplica:
root_server# /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -R -d sun.com. -h sunrep
To set up a non-root master server for domain xyz.sun.com.
on host sunxyz with the NIS+ groupname as admin-
mgr.xyz.sun.com. :
root_server# /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -M -d xyz.sun.com. -h sunxyz \
-g admin-mgr.xyz.sun.com.
To set up a non-root replica server for domain xyz.sun.com.
on host sunabc:
sunxyz# /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -R -d xyz.sun.com. -h sunabc
