 nisdefaults(1)                                               nisdefaults(1)




 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      nisdefaults - display NIS+ default values

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      nisdefaults [ -adghprstv ]

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      nisdefaults prints the default values that are returned by calls to
      the NIS+ local name functions (see nis_local_names(3N)).  With no
      options specified, all defaults will be printed in a verbose format.
      With options, only that option is displayed in a terse form suitable
      for shell scripts.  See the example below.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
      -a   Print all defaults in a terse format.

      -d   Print the default domain name.

      -g   Print the default group name.

      -h   Print the default host name.

      -p   Print the default principal name.

      -r   Print the default access rights with which new objects will be
           created.

      -s   Print the default directory search path.

      -t   Print the default time to live value.

      -v   Print the defaults in a verbose format.  This prepends an
           identifying string to the output.

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      Print the NIS+ defaults for a root process on machine example in the
      foo.bar.  domain:

           example# nisdefaults
           Principal Name : example.foo.bar.
           Domain Name    : foo.bar.
           Host Name      : example.foo.bar.
           Group Name     :
           Access Rights  : ----rmcdr---r---
           Time to live   : 12:00:00
           Search Path    : foo.bar.

      Set a variable in a shell script to the default domain:

           DOMAIN=`nisdefaults -d`

           nisdefaults -tv
           Time to live : 12:00:00

      Print out the time to live in the terse format:

           nisdefaults -t

 EXTERNAL INFLUENCES    [Toc]    [Back]
    Environment Variables
      Several environment variables affect the defaults associated with a
      process.

      NIS_DEFAULTS      This variable contains a defaults string that will
                        override the NIS+ standard defaults.  The defaults
                        string is a series of tokens separated by colons.
                        These tokens represent the default values to be used
                        for the generic object properties.  All of the legal
                        tokens are described below.

                        ttl=time
                             This token sets the default time to live for
                             objects that are created.  The value time is
                             specified in the format as defined by the
                             nischttl command.  (See nischttl(1)).  The
                             default value is 12 hours.

                        owner=ownername
                             This token specifies that the NIS+ principal
                             ownername should own created objects.  The
                             default for this value is the principal who is
                             executing the command.

                        group=groupname
                             This token specifies that the group groupname
                             should be the group owner for created objects.
                             The default is NULL.

                        access=rights
                             This token specifies the set of access rights
                             that are to be granted for created objects.
                             The value rights is specified in the format as
                             defined by the nischmod command.  (See
                             nischmod(1)).  The default value is
                             ----rmcdr---r---.

      NIS_GROUP         This variable contains the name of the local NIS+
                        group.  If the name is not fully qualified, the
                        default domain will be appended to it.

      NIS_PATH          This variable overrides the default NIS+ directory
                        search path.  It contains an ordered list of
                        directories separated by ':' (colon) characters. The
                        '$' (dollar sign) character is treated specially.
                        Directory names that end in '$' have the default
                        domain appended to them, and a '$' by itself is
                        replaced by the list of directories between the
                        default domain and the global root that are at least
                        two levels deep. The default NIS+ directory search
                        path is '$'.

                        Refer to the Name Expansion subsection in nis+(1)
                        for more details.

 WARNINGS    [Toc]    [Back]
      HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the last HP-UX release on which NIS+ is
      supported.

      LDAP is the recommended replacement for NIS+.  HP fully supports the
      industry standard naming services based on LDAP.
