How to configure nis client in irix

Question

Can anyone please let me know how to configure nis client in irix box.

How can I check whether nis package is installed or not in irix?

Answer 1

You can easily check if NIS is installed using the:

IRIX inst command

If NIS is already installed you should issue the command:

/etc/chkconfig yp on

to enable the NIS service and edit:

/etc/nsswitch.conf

using any standard editor.

A network restart or system reboot will activate NIS for you.

Just check if your configuration is fine with

ypwhich
