NAME

nisrm - remove NIS+ objects from the namespace

SYNOPSIS

nisrm [ -if ] name ...

DESCRIPTION

The nisrm command removes NIS+ objects named name from the NIS+ namespace. This command will fail if the NIS+ master server is not run- ning.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported: -i Interactive mode. Like the system rm(1) command the nisrm command will ask for confirmation prior to removing an object. If the name specified by name is a non-fully qualified name this option is forced on. This prevents the removal of unexpected objects. -f Force. The removal is attempted, and if it fails for permission reasons, a nischmod(1) is attempted and the removal retried. If the command fails, it fails silently.
