You can display information about each table object using the niscat -o table-name.directory-name command. Information about the hosts table object is displayed in the following example:
oak% niscat -o hosts.org_dir Object Name : hosts Owner : oak.ESG.Eng.sun.COM. Group : Domain : org_dir.ESG.Eng.sun.COM. Access Rights : ----rmcdrmcdr--- Time to Live : 12:Ø:Ø Object Type : TABLE Table Type : hosts_tbl Number of Columns : 4 Character Separator: Search Path : Columns : [0] Name : cname Attributes :(SEARCHABLE, TEXTUAL DATA, CASE INSENSITIVE) Access Rights : ---------------- [1] Name : name Attributes :(SEARCHABLE, TEXTUAL DATA, CASE INSENSITIVE) Access Rights: ----------------- [2] Name : addr Attributes :(SEARCHABLE, TEXTUAL DATA, CASE INSENSITIVE) Access Rights: ---------------- [3] Name : comment Attributes :(TEXTUAL DATA) Access Rights: ---------------- oak%
The access rights for the table object are displayed on the fifth line. This table has four named columns: cname, name, addr, and comment. Each column has its own access rights, which are displayed after the name and attributes of the column. In this example, no additional access to the columns has been granted, and owner and group have read, modify, create, and delete permissions for the table object.
If you have read permission, you can display the values for a table using the niscat table-name.directory-name command. In the next example, the auto_master.org_dir map has two entries:
oak% niscat auto_master.org_dir /bin auto_local /- auto_direct oak%
You can display the names of the columns and the contents using the niscat -h table-name.directory-name command. In the following example, the auto_master table has two columns, named key and value, and the separator is a space. The auto_master.org_dir map has two entries:
oak% niscat -h auto_master.org_dir # key value /bin auto_local /- auto_direct oak%
NOTE: When an NIS+ table has many entries, the output of the niscat command can be quite long. If youre searching for specific entries, you may want to use nismatch or nisgrep instead.
You can create or delete tables using the nistbladm command. You can also use the nistbladm command to create and modify entries. See the nistbladm(1) manual page for more information. You can also look in Chapter 8, Setting Up the Automounter, for examples of how to use the nistbladm command to create and edit automount maps.
