21.3.5.1 Initialize a Server

The nisinit command is used to setup a client, master server, or replica server for NIS+. To initialize the root server use the -r option:

# nisinit -r

This should only be run once for the name space. It uses the domainname specified in /etc/defaultdomain and places it's root object in the directory /var/nis.
