Hello,
This is the sample nsswitch file i found in /usr/doc/yp-tools....
i have many m/c which are nis client's server's are solaris 2.6 and home
dir are mapped through nfs servers(file servers).
i just run the ypbind and mv /etc/auto.master and misc to
auto.master.org and misc.org this mount's the automounter maps.
i leave the /etc/nsswitch.conf as it is .
but below you find nsswitch sujjested by some body what is advantage i
get with this.
what is this compat means?
is nis+ can be implimented on linux?
why do services ,protocols,netmasks, ethers,rpc tobe nis.
there may diffrent services running in each host is right put it as nis?
why autofs always looks at /etc/auto.master even if /etc/nsswitch.conf
points to nis as i told you before i mv it aut......org is there any
batter way of doing it?
can i have slave server and create my own maps in addition to master
maps i mean cani export /home from linux nis slave.
please some body solve my doughts.
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# An example Name Service Switch config file. This file should be
# sorted with the most-used services at the beginning.
#
# The entry '[NOTFOUND=return]' means that the search for an
# entry should stop if the search in the previous entry turned
# up nothing. Note that if the search failed due to some other reason
# (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the
# next entry.
#
# Legal entries are:
#
# nisplus Use NIS+ (NIS version 3)
# nis Use NIS (NIS version 2), also called YP
# dns Use DNS (Domain Name Service)
# files Use the local files
# db Use the /var/db databases
# [NOTFOUND=return] Stop searching if not found so far
