NAME
nidomain − NetInfo domain utility
SYNOPSIS
nidomain -l [ hostname ]
nidomain -m tag
nidomain -d tag
nidomain -c tag master/remotetag
DESCRIPTION
The nidomain utility is an interface to nibindd(8), to which it sends all of its requests about the domains served on a given machine. It also can be used to create and destroy NetInfo databases.
The nidomain utility will allow one to create multiple levels of NetInfo hierarchy, but it is not a particularly easy way to do it. One should use the NetInfo Manager application for setting up multilevel hierarchies.
OPTIONS
-l [ hostname ]
List the domains by tag served on the given hostname. If hostname is unspecified, the local host is used.
|
-m tag |
Create a new NetInfo database and server on the local machine for the domain tag of tag. | ||
|
-d tag |
Destroy the local NetInfo database and server associated with the domain tagged tag. If the database was associated with a clone, the machine’s ’’serves’’ property on the master is NOT modified to reflect the fact that the database has been deleted. |
-c tag master/remotetag
Creates a clone NetInfo database with the domain tagged tag. The database is cloned from the machine master and remote tag remotetag. The machine’s ’’serves’’ property should be set up prior to running this command to contain the entry "./tag".
