NAME
       svcsetup - set up the svc.conf file

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/svcsetup

DESCRIPTION
       The  svcsetup script modifies the svc.conf file on your system. The svc.conf file must be modified whenever you configure or remove a data-
       base distribution service, such as the Network Information Service (NIS, formerly YP) or BIND (for the hosts database only).  Changes  take
       effect immediately.

       Modifications to the svc.conf file can also be made via an editor.

       When  you  run  svcsetup, do the following: Choose the m option from the Configuration menu.  Enter the numbers, separated by a space, from
       the Change Menu that correspond to the databases whose entries you want to modify.  Indicate, for each database that you selected  in  step
       2, the order in which you want the services queried. Selections 3, 4, 5, and 6 are valid for the <interactive>(hosts) database only.

RESTRICTIONS
       The recommended configuration is that you have local as the first entry for all databases, except possibly hosts.

       The Security Integration Architecture (SIA) is now responsible for setting the service order for the passwd and group databases. The passwd
       and group entry in the svc.conf file remain for backwards compatibility only. The SECLEVEL entry also remains for  backwards  compatibility
       only; SIA now configures system security.

       Only NIS can serve the netgroup database, even if local is specified for the netgroup entry.

       You must be superuser to run svcsetup.
