2.2.4 Disable NIS+ daemons - Make sure that /network/rpc/nisplus is disabled

Information

NIS+ was designed to be a more secure version of NIS. However, the use of NIS+ has been deprecated by Oracle and customers are encouraged to use LDAP as an alternative naming service. This service is disabled by default unless the NIS+ service has been configured on the system.

Solution

No action is necessary to disable NIS+ daemons unless they have been specifically enabled by the administrator. If so, they may be disabled using the following command-
svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/nisplus
