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
