Creating netgroups
Creating netgroups
To create a netgroup, follow these steps:
-
On the master server, edit the file /etc/netgroup and add the
netgroup (see
``About netgroups''
for the format of this entry).
-
Change to the /etc/yp directory and execute the command:
ypmake netgroup
This will create the new netgroup and push the changes out to the
other NIS servers in the domain.
