NAME
      fncopy - copy FNS contexts, possibly from one naming service
      to another naming service
 


SYNOPSIS
      fncopy  [  -f filename  ]   [  -i old-naming-service  ]    [
      -o new-naming-service ]  old-fns-context  new-fns-context
 


DESCRIPTION
      fncopy copies recursively the FNS context,  old-fns-context,
      and  attributes to a new FNS context, new-fns-context. If -i
      and -o options are specified with the respective naming ser-
      vice,  the  old-fns-context  with  be  resolved  using  old-
      naming-service as the underlying naming  service,  and  new-
      fns-context  will be created using new-naming-service as the
      underlying naming service. In  the  absence  of  -i  and  -o
      options,  the  default  naming  service  will  be  used (see
      fnselect(1M)).
 
      When the -f option is used, filename names a file containing
      a  list  of  contexts  in the old-fns-context that should be
      copied to the new-fns-context.
 
      If the FNS context new-fns-context  already  exists  in  the
      target naming service, new-naming-service, this command will
      copy only the contexts and bindings that do not exist in the
      target naming service. This command will not  over-write any
      of the existing FNS contexts in the target naming service.
 
      This command follows links  and  copies   FNS  contexts  and
      binding to the new-fns-context namespace.
 


OPTIONS
      -f filename
            Specifies a file name that contains a list of FNS con-
            texts to be copied.
 
      -i old-naming-service
            Specifies the source naming  service;  currently  only
            nis is supported.
 
      -o new-naming-service
            Specifies the target naming  service;  currently  only
            nisplus is supported.
 


OPERANDS
      The following operands are supported:
 
      old-fns-context

 Maintenance Commands                                   fncopy(1M)
 
 
 
            The new FNS context.
 
 EXAMPLES
      Example 1: Using the fncopy command
 
      For example, the command
 
      eg% fncopy .../fed-naming.eng.sun.com/service/printer \
      .../sun.com/orgunit/ssi.eng/service/printer
      will    copy    the    FNS    printer    context    .../fed-
      naming.eng.sun.com/service/printer  and  its subcontexts and
      bindings      to      the      FNS      printer      context
      .../sun.com/orgunit/ssi.eng/service/printer.
 
      In the following example,
 
      eg% fncopy -i nis -o nisplus -f /etc/ssi-users-list \
 
      thisorgunit/user org/ssi.eng/user
      will copy the NIS FNS users' contexts specified in the  file
      /etc/ssi-users-list  to  NIS+  FNS  users'  context  of  the
      orgunit ssi.eng.
 
 EXIT STATUS
