NAME

       nissetup - initialize a NIS+ domain

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/nis/nissetup [-Y] [domain]

DESCRIPTION

       nissetup  is  a shell script that sets up a NIS+ domain to service clients that wish to store system administration information in a domain
       named domain. This domain should already exist prior to executing this command. See nismkdir(1) and nisinit(1M).

       A NIS+ domain consists of a NIS+ directory and its subdirectories: org_dir and groups_dir. org_dir stores system administration information
       and groups_dir stores information for group access control.

       nissetup  creates  the  subdirectories  org_dir and groups_dir in domain. Both subdirectories will be replicated on the same servers as the
       parent domain. After the subdirectories are created, nissetup  creates  the  default  tables  that  NIS+  serves.  These  are  auto_master,
       auto_home,  bootparams,	cred,  ethers, group, hosts, mail_aliases, netmasks, networks, passwd, protocols, rpc, services, and timezone. The
       nissetup script uses the nistbladm(1) command to create these tables. The script can be easily customized to add site specific tables  that
       are created at setup time.

       This command is normally executed just once per domain.

       While this command creates the default tables, it does not initialize them with data. This is accomplished with the nisaddent(1M) command.

       It is easier to use the nisserver(1M) script to create subdirectories and the default tables.

OPTIONS

       -Y    Specify  that  the  domain  will be served as both a NIS+ domain as well as an NIS domain using the backward compatibility flag. This
	     will set up the domain to be less secure by making all the system tables readable by unauthenticated clients as well.

NOTES

       NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris Operating system. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are  available
       in the current Solaris release. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
