Differece b/w Sun OS 2.7 and HP-UX 10.20

[Balakumar M]

Hi All,
How HP-UX differs in configuring NIS,DNS and NFS When compare to Sun Solaris.
For example, In Solaris we use to define "nis" for "dns" in /etc/nsswitch.conf when configuring DNS server or NIS server.
Any Document regarding the configuring NFS,DNS and NIS in HP-UX?

Looking for your help....

Hi,

you can find manual in http://docs.hp.com
goto networking and communication

DNS -> internet service
NFS/NIS -> NFS service

For DNS you can see http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/J2776-90008/J2776-90008_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/J2776-90008/00/00/20-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/J2776-90008/00/00/20-toc.html&searchterms=dns&queryid=20010402-022241,
for NIS you can see http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1031-90045/B1031-90045_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1031-90045/00/00/20-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1031-90045/00/00/20-toc.html&searchterms=NIS&queryid=20010402-022524

Hello,

A details HP-UX <> Solaris Interoperability Cookbook is available on the Web at:
http://www.interex.org/tech/9000/Tech/sun_hpux_interop/index.html

Although not specific to Solaris 2.7, 95% of the content applies.

Also, there are example nsswitch.conf files for you to use in /usr/newconfig/etc/, which you can select from, and copy to /etc/nsswitch.conf and then edit per your configuration requirements.

Hope this helps,
