7.9.6 NIS Make file

The file Makefile.nis.portAccess is used to create the lsi port database.

To build the database, the above files (listed in Section 7.9, NIS and User Port Permis-

sions, on page 61) need to be loaded on the NIS server. The system has been tested on

a linux machine running RedHat 8.0. The files were placed in the /var/yp directory.

After the make file executed, the lsi database file was placed in the NIS host directory.

7.9.7 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 : files nis

3. Save your updated nsswitch.conf file.

7.10 NFS

NFS information can be obtained from the MAN pages. Refer to the following

man pages: nfs, mount, fstab.

This section is an overview of setup information for an NFS application, as it per-

tains to the SCS.

7.10.1 Remote NFS Directory

To mount a remote directory onto the SCS, you must start the portmap service

and the nfslock service.

To manually start these services (portmap and nfslock):

service portmap start

service nfslock start

You may have these services start automatically at power on. To do so, enter the

commands:

chkconfig portmap on

chkconfig nfslock on

Determine which local directory name you will use to refer to the remote directory.

The standard name used is /mnt. If you need more than one remote directory
