Network Information Services (NIS and NIS+) Guide


Client_info Table

The client_info table stores each client's server discovery information, such as preferred servers and preferred options. The client_info table resides on each NIS+ server, so two clients from the same server can look each other up through their own server.

The client_info table has four columns:

Client_Info Table
Column Description
client Client's name
attr Client's attributes
info Information about the client
flags Flag information about the client

Note: nispopulate does not populate this table.
