nissetup(1M)		System Administration Commands		  nissetup(1M)

NAME
       nissetup - initialize a NIS+ domain

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/nis/nissetup [-Y] [domain]

DESCRIPTION
       nissetup	 is  a	shell  script  that  sets  up a NIS+ domain to service
       clients that wish to  store  system  administration  information	 in  a
       domain  named domain. This domain should already exist prior to execut‐
       ing this command. See nismkdir(1) and nisinit(1M).

       A NIS+ domain consists of a  NIS+  directory  and  its  subdirectories:
       org_dir	and  groups_dir. org_dir stores system administration informa‐
       tion and groups_dir stores information for group access control.

       nissetup creates the subdirectories org_dir and groups_dir  in  domain.
       Both  subdirectories will be replicated on the same servers as the par‐
       ent domain. After the subdirectories are created, nissetup creates  the
       default	tables	that  NIS+  serves.  These are auto_master, auto_home,
       bootparams, cred, ethers, group, hosts,	mail_aliases,  netmasks,  net‐
       works,  passwd,	protocols,  rpc,  services, and timezone. The nissetup
       script uses the nistbladm(1) command to create these tables. The script
       can  be	easily customized to add site specific tables that are created
       at setup time.

       This command is normally executed just once per domain.

       While this command creates the default tables, it does  not  initialize
       them with data. This is accomplished with the nisaddent(1M) command.

       It  is  easier to use the nisserver(1M) script to create subdirectories
       and the default tables.

OPTIONS
       -Y    Specify that the domain will be served as both a NIS+  domain  as
	     well as an NIS domain using the backward compatibility flag. This
	     will set up the domain to be less secure by making all the system
	     tables readable by unauthenticated clients as well.

NOTES
       NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris Operating
       system.	Tools  to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available in
       the   current   Solaris	 release.   For	  more	 information,	 visit
