Administration Utilities

SCHINST
The following administration utilities are provided with Novell
Access for UNIX:
This utility is run automatically during the installation of Native File Access
for UNIX. This utility extends the schema necessary for storing the UNIX
information of objects. If the directory services are reinstalled or if the
NISUserDef/NISUser object is deleted, run this utility manually. The syntax
is as follows:
schinst [ -f filename]
The -f filename is an optional parameter. It is the name of the file that contains
the list of schema files that need to be extended. If a filename is not specified,
the default file, SYS:\ETC\UNIXSCH, is used.
SCHINST takes the administrator's FDN and password as input for extending
the schema.
SCHINST extends the UAM schema only if N4S schema is not already
extended in the tree. If N4S is present, SCHINST will not extend the UAM.
It creates NISUserDef object if N4S schema is available or else creates
NISUser object if UAM schema is extended. It also adds the UNIX Profile of
the root user as UID=0, GID=1, Home Directory=/home to this object. It
updates the parameter NIS_ADMIN_OBJECT_CONTEXT in the
configuration file NFS.CFG with the context where the object is present.
To extend UAM schema deliberately when N4S schema is already present in
the tree, execute the following command after stopping the NFS services
running (use nfsstop):
schinst -n
NOTE:
You also have to run nisinst after this.
All log messages generated by SCHINST are written to the
SYS:\ETC\SCHINST.LOG file. All information regarding schema extension
can be found in SYS:\SYSTEM\DSMISC.LOG.
