Network Information Services (NIS and NIS+) Guide

Client_info Table

The client_info table stores each client's server discovery information, such as preferred servers and preferred options. The client_info table resides on each NIS+ server so two clients from the same server can look each other up through their own server.

The client_info table has four columns:

client
Client's name
attr
Client's attributes
info
Information about the client
flags
Flag information about the client
Note: nispopulate does not populate this table.
