7.9.6 NIS Make file
The file
Makefile.nis.portAccess
is used to create the lsi port database.
To build the database, the above files (listed in Section 7.9, NIS and User Port Permis-
sions, on page 61) need to be loaded on the NIS server. The system has been tested on
a linux machine running RedHat 8.0. The files were placed in the
/var/yp
directory.
After the make file executed, the lsi database file was placed in the NIS host directory.
7.9.7 NIS Configuration File
The NIS configuration file (located at
/etc/nsswitch.conf
) must be edited
by the user to support your NIS server. To do this:
1.
Open the file
/etc/nsswitch.conf
using your editor.
2.
Edit (add or modify) a line to your config file that supports local files for local users,
and if not assigned locally, refers to the NIS database. The line should read:
port_access : files nis
3.
Save your updated
nsswitch.conf
file.
7.10 NFS

man pages:

,
mount
,
fstab
.
This section is an overview of setup information for an NFS application, as it per-
tains to the SCS.
7.10.1 Remote NFS Directory
To mount a remote directory onto the SCS, you must start the
portmap
service
and the
nfslock
service.
To manually start these services (portmap and nfslock):
service portmap start
service nfslock start
You may have these services start automatically at power on. To do so, enter the
commands:
chkconfig portmap on
chkconfig nfslock on
Determine which local directory name you will use to refer to the remote directory.
The standard name used is
/mnt
. If you need more than one remote directory
