NISINST

This utility creates an NDS object with name NISSERV_SERVERNAME by default or whatever name was specified with -s option. NIS Server uses this object to store the domains served by the NIS Server. NIS Server validates every request against the list of domains specified in this object. It serves the request only when the domain in the request is present in the above list. The usage of nisinst is:

nisinst [-s name] [-x context]

The parameter -s is optional, and specifies the name to be given to the object. The parameter -x is also optional and specifes the context where to create this object.

IMPORTANT:  If directory services are removed, you need to comment the SEARCH ROOT parameter in NFS.CFG, and do the following:

nfsstop

schinst

nisinst

nfsstart
