Bootparams Map—A source of information for various boot parameters.
The Boot objects store information about the boot parameters of the various
devices that are running. If the Bootparams text filename is to be migrated
from the ConsoleOne, it should be named bootp.
Hosts Map—Contains one entry for each IP address of each host. If a host has
more than one IP address, it will have one entry for each. The Hosts objects
store the IP address and hostname as distinguished values of CN, and aliases
and nicknames are stored as other values of CN attributes.
Netgroup Map—A source of information about Net Group parameters. It
provides the abstraction of net groups.
Networks Map—Contains a single object for each network. The Network
objects store network names as distinguished values of CN, and aliases and
nicknames are stored as other values of CN attributes.
Protocols Map—Contains one object for each protocol. The Protocols
objects store protocol names as distinguished values of CN, and aliases and
nicknames are stored as other values of CN attributes.
RPC Map—Contains one object for each Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
program name. The RPC objects store RPC program names as distinguished
values of CN, and aliases and nicknames are stored as other values of CN
attributes.
Services Map—Contains an object for each service. The Services objects
store service names, ports, and protocols as distinguished values of CN, and
aliases and nicknames are stored as other values of CN attributes.
Passwd Map—Maintains the details of the users such as UID, Username,
home directory etc.
Group Map—Maintains the details of the groups present such as GID, Group
name, and Group members.
Ypservers Map—Maintains a list of NIS slave servers which can also serve
the NIS domain.
Custom NIS Maps: You can use NIS to store any common configuration
information that is valuable to NIS clients. Maps you create in addition to the
standard NIS maps are called custom maps. For example, you can create an
NIS map that provides an employee phone list.
You can create custom maps by creating a text file that contains the relevant
configuration information. After creating the text file, you convert it into an
NIS map through migration.
