NAME
      nisdefaults - display NIS+ default values
 


SYNOPSIS
      nisdefaults [ -adghprstv ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      The nisdefaults utility prints the default values  that  are
      returned  by  calls  to  the  NIS+ local name functions (see
      nis_local_names(3NSL)).  With  no  options  specified,   all
      defaults  will be printed in a verbose format. With options,
      only that option is displayed in a terse form  suitable  for
      shell scripts. See the example below.
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported:
 
      -a    Print all defaults in a terse format.
 
      -d    Print the default domain name.
 
      -g    Print the default group name.
 
      -h    Print the default host name.
 
      -p    Print the default principal name.
 
      -r    Print the default access rights with which new objects
            will be created.
 
      -s    Print the default directory search path.
 
      -t    Print the default time to live value.
 
      -v    Print the defaults in a verbose format. This  prepends
            an identifying string to the output.
 
 EXAMPLES
      Example 1: Printing NIS+ defaults
 
      The following prints the  NIS+ defaults for a  root  process
      on machine example in the  foo.bar. domain:
 
      example# nisdefaults
      Principal Name :    example.foo.bar.
      Domain Name    :    foo.bar.
      Host Name :    example.foo.bar.
      Group Name     :
      Access Rights   :       ----rmcdr---r---
      Time to live   :    12:00:00
      Search Path    :    foo.bar.

      Example 2: Setting a variable in the shell script
 
      This example sets a  variable  in  a  shell  script  to  the
      default domain:
 
      DOMAIN=`nisdefaults -d`
 
      Example 3: Printing the default time to live in verbose for-
      mat
 
      This example prints out the default time to live in  a  ver-
      bose format:
 
      example% nisdefaults -tv
      Time to live   :       12:00:00
 
      Example 4: Printing the time to live in terse format
 
      This example prints out the time to live in the  terse  for-
      mat:
 
      example% nisdefaults -t
      43200
 
 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
      Several environment variables affect the defaults associated
      with a process.
 
      NIS_DEFAULTS
            This variable contains a  defaults  string  that  will
            override the
             NIS+ standard defaults.  The  defaults  string  is  a
            series  of  tokens  separated  by colons. These tokens
            represent the default values to be used for  the  gen-
            eric  object  properties.  All of the legal tokens are
            described below.
 
            ttl=time
                  This token sets the default  time  to  live  for
                  objects  that  are  created.  The value  time is
                  specified  in  the  format  as  defined  by  the
                  nischttl  (1)  command.  The default value is 12
                  hours.
 
            owner=ownername
                  This token specifies  that  the  NIS+  principal
                  ownername   should   own  created  objects.  The
                  default for this value is the principal  who  is
                  executing the command.
 
            group=groupname
                  This token specifies that the  group   groupname

                  should  be  the group owner for created objects.
                  The default is NULL.
 
            access=rights
                  This token specifies the set  of  access  rights
                  that  are to be granted for created objects. The
                  value
                   rights is specified in the format as defined by
                  the   nischmod(1) command. The default value is:
                  ----rmcdr---r---.
 
 
      NIS_GROUP
            This variable contains the  name  of  the  local  NIS+
            group. If the name is not fully qualified, the default
            domain will be appended to it.
 
      NIS_PATH
            This variable overrides  the  default  NIS+  directory
            search  path.  It  contains  an ordered list of direc-
            tories separated by ':' (colon)  characters.  The  '$'
            (dollar  sign)  character is treated specially. Direc-
            tory names that end in '$'  have  the  default  domain
            appended  to  them, and a '$' by itself is replaced by
            the list of directories between the default domain and
            the global root that are at least two levels deep. The
            default NIS+ directory search path is '$'.
 
            Refer to the  Name Expansion subsection in nis+(1) for
            more details.
