GEN006380 - The system must not use UDP for NIS/NIS+.

Implementing NIS or NIS+ under UDP may make the system more susceptible to a Denial of Service attack and does not provide the same quality of service as TCP.

Solution

Configure the system to not use UDP for NIS and NIS+. Consult vendor documentation for the required procedure.
