mk_nispasswdd Command

Purpose

Uncomments the entry in the /etc/rc.nfs file for the rpc.nispasswdd daemon and invokes the daemon by using the startsrc command.

Syntax

/usr/sbin/mk_nispasswdd-I ] | [ -B ] | [ -N ]

Description

The mk_nispasswdd command uncomments the entry in the /etc/rc.nfs file for the rpc.nispasswdd daemon. The mk_nispasswdd command starts the daemon using the startsrc command.

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

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.

Flags

-I Uncomments the entry in the /etc/rc.nfs file to start the rpc.nispasswdd daemon on the next system restart.
-B Uncomments the entry in the /etc/rc.nfs file to start the rpc.nispasswdd daemon and uses the startsrc command to start the rpc.nispasswdd daemon. The -B flag is the default.
-N Uses the startsrc command to start the rpc.nispasswdd daemon. The -N flag does not change the /etc/rc.nfs file.

Examples

  1. To modify the /etc/rc.nfs file to invoke the rpc.nispasswdd daemon on the next system restart, enter:
    mk_nispasswdd -I

Files

/etc/rc.nfs Contains the startup script for the NFS and NIS daemons.
