Setting Name Service Lookup Order

The Name Service (NS) lookup order controls the sequence in which the name services are searched to resolve a query. These name services can include LDAP, NIS, NIS+, DNS, and Local. You must enable the selected services to use them for name resolution.

To set the order for user, group, netgroup, and host lookup:
