Hi

I know how to disable NIS/YP on a solaris box, and that requires the client to
be rebooted. Is there anyway I can disable it without having to reboot the
client? How?

Master is solaris 10, clients are solaris 8, 9, and 10.

My NIS-master is being shutdown, and clients should no longer use it. Getting
service windows to reboot all of them is really not desired.

Thanks,

Casper H.S. Dik

Change nsswitch.conf (remove all references to NIS).

nscd should then automatically restart and no new NIS queries would be send.

(You should also kill ypbind on all of the client)
