Removing NIS configuration

I don't know much about SCO. But you can try this:

As always stop NIS:
Code:
# /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstop

Remove the NIS config files in /etc:
Code:
# cd  /etc
# cp nsswitch.files  nsswitch.conf
# rm defaultdomain
# cd /var/yp/bindings
# rm  -r <your_domainname>

Remove automount configuration:
Code:
# vi  /etc/auto_master

And finally, reboot. Smilie
