mk_niscachemgr Command

Note: The mk_nisd, mk_cachemgr, mk_nispasswdd, rm_nisd, rm_cachemgr, and rm_nispasswdd commands do two things:

• Alter the entries of daemon startup calls in /etc/rc.nfs.
• Alter the default behavior of the daemon src entities.

For example, if the rpc.nisd daemon is supposed to start with the -Y flag, this will not be explicitly set in the /etc/rc.nfs entry for starting the rpc.nisd daemon. Instead, a chssys is executed to place the default options which are added (if any) to the daemons during startup. To verify that these options exist, use the lssrc -S -s subsystem command to show the default options.

 

To modify the /etc/rc.nfs file to invoke the nis_cachemgr daemon on the next system restart, enter:

mk_niscachemgr -I
