NAME
fnsypd − update FNS context on an NIS master server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/fnsypd
DESCRIPTION
The fnsypd daemon is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service that accepts requests from NIS clients to update and modify Federated Naming Service (FNS) contexts. This daemon runs on an NIS master server with FNS on top of it. The fnsypd daemon requires the Secure Key Infrastructure (SKI) mechanism for authentication. The SKI mechanism is part of the SUNWski package. If SUNWski is not installed, authentication cannot be performed and users will receive "permission denied" error messages. The SUNWski man pages are located at /opt/SUNWski/man.
fnsypd enables users and hosts to modify only their respective FNS contexts. Organization, site, hostname and username contexts cannot be modified using fnsypd.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
