Name
-d38.10
Synopsis
The NIS alias map needs to contain a @:@
entry to
indicate that it is fully updated and ready for reading. But because
HP-UX omits the @:@
, it is useful only as a check
to see whether the NIS map exists. The -d38.10
debugging switch causes the result of this check to be printed as:
nis_map_open: yp_match(@, domain, nisdb)
Here, domain is the NIS domain, and nisdb is usually mail.aliases (but it can be redefined in your configuration file, AliasFile). If the database map is not marked as optional (-o), the following error will be printed:
Cannot bind to map nisdb in domaindomain: reason here
The -d38.10
debugging switch also traces the NIS+
open’s check for a valid table:
nisplus_map_open: nisplusdb.domain is not a table
Essentially, this says that the NIS+ database map
nisplusdb (in the domain
shown) does not exist. The error is printed even if the
-o
(optional) database switch (-o) is present.
