Changing domain and NIS on SUN Solaris clients

1. Edit /etc/defaultdomain
   Set the new domain used when booting up :
   mydomain.intra
   
   
2. Set current domain name
   > domainname mydomain.intra
   
   
3. Add your NIS servers to /etc/hosts
   
   
4. Set your client as a NIS client :
   > /usr/sbin/ypinit -c
   Add your NIS servers here (eg : nisserv1.mydomain.intra).
   
   
5. Bind your client to your NIS server :
   > ypbind
   
   
6. Check your NIS server binding :
   > ypwhich
   nisserv1.mydomain.intra
   
   
7. Reboot
   

Important Be sure you did 1. ok, otherwise you won't be able to boot anymore (boot -s for single user mode, and then correct your /etc/defaultdomain file, then reboot again)
