A Planning Guide for Moving to LDAP as Naming Service in the Solaris OS
Moving from Network Information Service (NIS) or NIS+ to Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)? Here are several important decisions and issues that must be faced first.
I've been more used to Solaris, but am now working on an IBM AIX box, P650
Certain commands like "top" are no longer available. Any ideas on where I can find help on this matter?

controller c1 means the secondary ide controller ide1.

In a recent research experiment I was handling, I faced this task of managing huge amounts of data to the order of Terabytes and with the help of many people here, I managed to learn quite a lot of things in the whole process. I am sure that many people will keep facing these situations quite often... (2 Replies)
rpc.ypupdated(1M) System Administration Commands rpc.ypupdated(1M)NAME
rpc.ypupdated, ypupdated - server for changing NIS information
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/rpc.ypupdated [-is]
DESCRIPTION
ypupdated is a daemon that updates information in the Network Information Service (NIS). ypupdated consults the updaters(4) file in the
/var/yp directory to determine which NIS maps should be updated and how to change them.
By default, the daemon requires the most secure method of authentication available to it, either DES (secure) or UNIX (insecure).
On start up, ypupdated checks for the existence of a NIS to LDAP (N2L) configuration file, /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping. If the file is present,
ypupdated generates an informational message and exits. ypupdated is not supported in N2L mode.
OPTIONS -i Accept RPC calls with the insecure AUTH_UNIX credentials. This allows programmatic updating of the NIS maps in all networks.
-s Accept only calls authenticated using the secure RPC mechanism (AUTH_DES authentication). This disables programmatic updating of
the NIS maps unless the network supports these calls.
FILES
/var/yp/updaters Configuration file for rpc.updated command.
/var/yp/NISLDAPmapping Configuration file for N2L
