This behavior is, therefore, not the default. -.Pp -The merge option only affects lookups in the groups map. -If set, subsequent access methods will be tried in order to cause -local users to appear in NIS (or other remote) groups in addition -to the local groups. -.Sh EXAMPLE -.Bd -literal -offset indent -# Get password entries from local file, or failing that, NIS -passwd local continue -passwd nis - -# Build group membership from both local file, and NIS. -group local continue,merge -group nis - -# Services comes from just the local file. -services local - -protocols local - -# Hosts comes first from DNS, failing that, the local file -hosts dns continue -hosts local - -# Networks comes first from the local file, and failing -# that the, irp daemon -networks local continue -networks irp - -netgroup local -.Ed -.Sh NOTES -If a local user needs to be in the local host's -.Dq wheel -group but not in every host's -.Dq wheel -group, put them in the local host's -.Pa /etc/group -.Dq wheel -entry and set up the -.Dq groups -portion of your -.Pa /etc/irs.conf -file as: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -group local continue,merge -group nis -.Ed -.Pp -NIS takes a long time to time out. -Especially for hosts if you use the -.Fl d -option to your server's -.Dq ypserv -daemon. -.Pp -It is important that the -.Pa irs.conf -file contain an entry for each map. -If a map is not mentioned in the -.Pa irs.conf -file, all queries to that map will fail. -.Pp -The classic NIS mechanism for specifying union namespaces is to add an entry -to a local map file whose name is ``+''. In IRS, this is done via ``continue'' -and/or ``merge'' map options. While this results in a small incompatibility -when local map files are imported from non-IRS systems to IRS systems, there -are compensating advantages in security and configurability. -.Sh FILES -.Bl -tag -width /etc/irs.confXXXX -compact -.It Pa /etc/irs.conf -The file -.Nm irs.conf -resides in -.Pa /etc . -.El -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr groups 5 , -.Xr hosts 5 , -.Xr netgroup 5 , -.Xr networks 5 , -.Xr passwd 5 , -.Xr protocols 5 , -.Xr services 5 |
