NIS user creation

Hi can anyone help me how to create a NIS user by editing the files like Passwd,group, Netgroup,auto.home and Aliases using the "enis" utility?

Please do the needful................................

Hi,

You should man the nistbladm command, it should help you doing what you want :slight_smile:

Hi,
In our environment we are not using NIS+ instead we are using NIS and my question is like whether we can edit all these file with "enis" utility or not?
Anyone Please help me with this..........................................

I've never heard of "enis" before. I use NIS and NIS+ on a daily basis and we finally ended up with some scripting to easily do what we need but no such thing as "enis". Is this some kind of tool ?

No its not a tool but a utility used in my project. They edit the passwd,group,aliases,auto.home files with this like

$which enis
/local/sbin/enis

$enis passwd

Do you want to check these changes first?[y/N]? -------> press enter to check the changes first.
Press any key to continue? ------------> press any key.
then fill the syntax as per request
username:passwd:uid:gid:GCOS:homedir:loginshell

finally save this
:wq!

Do you want to save these changes?[Y/N]? Y

Do you want to "make passwd" [y/N]?

once you press YES here it updates the maps in the master server automatically. This is the scenario which is confusing me a bit so i posted this to take help from seniors like you.
