💖 nisserver-plugin-defs 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the System Administrator's Manual — the nisserver-plugin-defs(1) one — and it's genuinely so useful, let me put you on 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nisserver-plugin-defs — print default settings for the NIS server plugin

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nisserver-plugin-defs [-d domain ] [-m map ] [-s suffix ]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The nisserver-plugin-defs command produces example configuration entries containing the default settings which the NIS server plugin will use for all maps for which it has built-in defaults, or if a particular map name is specified, for one map.

Like, it's giving "here's what I'd assume if you never told me anything" energy 💅 You run it, it hands you example config entries with all the built-in default settings the NIS server plugin would fall back on. And either it dumps them for every map that has built-in defaults, or, if you name one specific map, just for that one. Iconic.

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • -d DOMAIN — By default, nisserver-plugin-defs uses a placeholder for the NIS domain name when it prints example configuration entries. This option allows a particular domain name to be specified. So instead of the cute little placeholder, you get your actual domain in there 🎀
  • -m MAP — By default, nisserver-plugin-defs prints example configuration entries for all of the maps for which it has built-in defaults. This option can be used to examine the defaults associated with a particular map name. Pick one map, get one map's defaults. Very "I don't need the whole menu, just the one thing" of you 🍓
  • -s SUFFIX — By default, nisserver-plugin-defs uses a placeholder for the base DN under which it expects to find entries which are relevant for the map. This option allows a particular search base to be specified. Swap the placeholder base DN for a real search base, and slay 🦋

✨ BUGS ✨

Probably, but let's hope not. If you find any, please file them in the bug database at http://slapi-nis.fedorahosted.org/.

fr fr if you find a bug, do NOT just sit there and suffer in silence 😭 go file it, the link is right there, they want to know
