Administering NIS users and groups

Once you have initialized an NIS domain, most user account administration within the domain can be performed using the Account Manager. You can:

• manage user account distribution using the Account Manager.

• manage group account distribution using the Account Manager.

• create netgroups using NIS utilities.

• distribute home directories with NIS and automount utilities.

You must be in multiuser mode (init state 2) with NIS daemons running before creating or modifying user accounts.

By default, only non-administrative accounts will become distributed NIS accounts when NIS is initialized by either ypinit or mkdev nis.

ypinit will ask the user whether administrative accounts should be distributed. If the user chooses to do so, the ADMACCTS variable in /etc/yp/Makefile and /etc/yp/ypmake will be set to -a.
