NIDOMAIN(8)

NAME
nidomain - NetInfo domain utility

SYNOPSIS
nidomain -l [ hostname ]

nidomain -m tag

nidomain -d tag

nidomain -c tag master/remotetag

DESCRIPTION
The nidomain utility is an interface to nibindd(8), to which it sends all of its requests about the domains served on a given machine. It also can be used to create and destroy NetInfo databases.

The nidomain utility will allow one to create multiple levels of NetInfo hierarchy, but it is not a particularly easy way to do it. One should use the NetInfo Manager application for setting up multilevel hierarchies.

OPTIONS

-l [ hostname ]
    List the domains by tag served on the given hostname. If hostname is unspecified, the local host is used.

-m tag
    Create a new NetInfo database and server on the local machine for the domain tag of tag.

-d tag
    Destroy the local NetInfo database and server associated with the domain tagged tag. If the database was associated with a clone, the machine's ``serves'' property on the master is NOT modified to reflect the fact that the database has been deleted.

-c tag master/remotetag
    Creates a clone NetInfo database with the domain tagged tag. The database is cloned from the machine master and remote tag remotetag. The machine's ``serves'' property should be set up prior to running this command to contain the entry "./tag".
