I'm setting up NIS+ on Solaris 8 for Intel. None of the books I have explain how to add a new user in the NIS+ envoirnment. Can somebody explain this and are there any url's to get more info. I have populated the nis tables and can do an niscat of the passwd table. There is an nisgrpadd command but no nisuseradd command. Thanks

As my understanding it would be best if you make up a script in which to add a new user. I think that you can get one from
