NAME

     fnsypd - update FNS context on an NIS master server

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/sbin/fnsypd

DESCRIPTION

     The  fnsypd daemon is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC)  service
     that accepts requests from  NIS clients to update and modify
     Federated Naming Service (FNS) contexts.  This  daemon  runs
     on  an   NIS  master  server   with   FNS on top of it.  The
     fnsypd daemon requires the Secure Key Infrastructure   (SKI)
     mechanism  for  authentication. The SKI mechanism is part of
     the SUNWski package. If SUNWski is not installed,  authenti-
     cation  cannot  be performed and users will receive "permis-
     sion denied" error messages.  The   SUNWski  man  pages  are
     located at /opt/SUNWski/man.

     fnsypd enables users and hosts to  modify only their respec-
     tive   FNS  contexts. Organization, site, hostname and user-
     name contexts cannot be modified using fnsypd.
