Initializes an NIS+ domain.
/usr/lib/nis/nissetup [ -Y ] NIS+Domain
The nissetup command initializes a domain to serve clients and to store system administration information. nissetup is a shell script that establishes an NIS+ domain to service clients needing to store system administration information in the domain NIS+Domain. That domain should already exist before executing nissetup (see nismkdir and nisinit for more information on how to create a domain).
An NIS+ domain consists of an NIS+ directory and its subdirectories, org_dir and groups_dir. The org_dir subdirectory stores system administration information and groups_dir stores information for group access control.
nissetup creates the subdirectories org_dir and groups_dir in NIS+Domain. Both org_dir and groups_dir are replicated on the parent domain's server. After the subdirectories are created, nissetup creates the default tables that NIS+ serves:
The nissetup script uses the nistbladm command to create those tables. You can easily customize the script to add site-specific tables to be created at setup time.
Note: Although nissetup creates the default tables, it does not initialize them with data. Use the nisaddent command to accomplish this.
Normally, the nissetup command is executed only once per domain.
| -Y | Specifies that the domain is served as both an NIS+ and an NIS domain. The -Y flag makes all the system tables readable for unauthenticated clients; consequently, the domain is less secure. |
The nisaddent command, the nisinit command, the nismkdir command, and the nistbladm command.
