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
nislocalnames(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.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Several environment variables affect the defaults associated
with a process.
NISDEFAULTS 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 generic 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 speci-
fied 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 own-
ername should own created
objects. The default for
this value is the princi-
pal 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 NUL.
access=rights This token specifies the
set of access rights that
are to be granted for
created objects. The
value rights is speci-
fied in the format as
defined by the nisch-
mod(1) command. The
default value is:
----rmcdr---r---.

NISGROUP This variable contains the name of the local
NIS] group. If the name is not fully quali-
fied, the default domain will be appended to
it.
NISPATH This variable overrides the default NIS]
directory search path. It contains an
ordered list of directories separated by ':'
(colon) characters. The '$' (dollar sign)
character is treated specially. Directory
names that end in '$' 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.
