NAME

       svc.conf - Database service selection configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       The  /etc/svc.conf  file  is  a	mandatory system file that allows you to select the desired services on a per database basis.  The default
       /etc/svc.conf file has local as the service selected for each database.	This file must be modified when adding or removing a  naming  ser-
       vice,  such  as	the  Network Information Service or BIND.  The valid services are local, yp, and bind.	Modifications to the /etc/svc.conf
       file can be made with an editor or the /usr/sbin/svcsetup command for database service selection.  Changes take	effect	immediately.   The
       recommended configuration is that you have local as the first entry for all databases.

RESTRICTIONS

       White space is allowed only after commas or newlines.

       You must have local as the first entry for the passwd and hosts databases.

       You must have yp as the entry for the netgroup database.

EXAMPLES

       The following is a sample /etc/svc.conf file: aliases=yp group=local,yp hosts=local,bind,yp netgroup=yp networks=local,yp passwd=local pro-
       tocols=local,yp rpc=local,yp services=local
