7.9.6 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:filesnis
3. Save your updated
nsswitch.conf
file.
7.10 NFS
NFS information can be obtained from the
man
pages, which is an overview of setup
information for an NFS application as it pertains to the SCS. Refer to the following:
man
pages:nfs, mount, fstab.
7.10.1 Remote NFS Directory
To mount a remote directory onto the SCS you must start the
portmap
and
netfs
services.
To manually start
portmap
and
netfs
services, enter the commands
:
service portmap start
service netfs start
To automatically start
portmap
and
netfs
services at Power On, enter the commands:
chkconfig portmap on
chkconfig netfs on
Determine which local directory name you will use to refer to the remote directory. The standard
name is
/mnt
.
If you need more than one remote directory mounted, create the additional
directories under the
/mnt
directory. (e.g
., /mnt/dir1, /mnt/dir2, /mnt/dir3
...)
To test the mounting, enter the following:
mount -t nfs <remote server name>:<remote directory name> <local
directory name>
Example
: mount -t nfs nyc:/usr/local/cvs/mnt/dir2
!
Note: To have this mount occur at startup, you must edit the file
/etc/fstab
.
See the
man
pages noted above for details.
For example:
n y c: /i sr /l oc al /c v s/ mn t/ di r2 nf sh a rd ,i nt r
