3.7: How to Remove NIS From a SunOS Client?
-------------------------------------------

To remove NIS from a SunOS client, remove the NIS files, as follows:

% rm -r /var/yp/`domainname`
% rm /etc/defaultdomain

If you just want to temporarily disable NIS, you should move the
objects to different names, rather than removing them.

Afterwards, reboot the machine.

You should also remove nis from /etc/nsswitch.conf

NAME
nisrm - remove NIS+ objects from the namespace SYNOPSIS
nisrm [-if] name... DESCRIPTION
The nisrm command removes NIS+ objects named name from the NIS+ namespace. This command will fail if the NIS+ master server is not running. This command will not remove directories. See nisrmdir(1). Nor will it remove non-empty tables. See nistbladm(1). OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -i Interactive mode. Like the system rm(1) command the nisrm command will ask for confirmation prior to removing an object. If the name specified by name is a non-fully qualified name this option is forced on. This prevents the removal of unexpected objects. -f Force. The removal is attempted, and if it fails for permission reasons, a nischmod(1) is attempted and the removal retried. If the command fails, it fails silently. OPERANDS
The following operand is supported: name A NIS+ named object. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using the nisrm Command Remove the objects foo, bar, and baz from the namespace: example% nisrm foo bar baz ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
NIS_PATH If this variable is set, and the NIS+ name is not fully qualified, each directory specified will be searched until the object is found. See nisdefaults(1). EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful operation. 1 Operation failed. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWnisu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
nis+(1), nischmod(1), nisdefaults(1), nisrmdir(1), nistbladm(1), rm(1), attributes(5) NOTES
NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the SolarisTM Operating Environment. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available in the Solaris 9 operating environment. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html. SunOS 5.10 10 Dec 2001 nisrm(1)
