User Commands nischown(1)
NAME
nischown - change the owner of a NIS+ object
SYNOPSIS
nischown [-AfLP] owner name...
DESCRIPTION
nischown changes the owner of the NIS+ objects or entries
specified by name to owner. Entries are specified using
indexed names (see nismatch(1)). If owner is not a fully
qualified NIS+ principal name (see nisaddcred(1M)), the
default domain (see nisdefaults(1)) will be appended to it.
The only restriction on changing an object's owner is that
you must have modify permissions for the object. Note: If
you are the current owner of an object and you change owner-
ship, you may not be able to regain ownership unless you
have modify access to the new object.
The command will fail if the master NIS+ server is not run-
ning.
The NIS+ server will check the validity of the name before
making the modification.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-A Modify all entries in all tables in the concatena-
tion path that match the search criteria specified
in name. It implies the -P option.
-f Force the operation and fail silently if it does
not succeed.
-L Follow links and change the owner of the linked
object or entries rather than the owner of the link
itself.
-P Follow the concatenation path within a named table.
This option is only meaningful when either name is
an indexed name or the -L option is also specified
and the named object is a link pointing to entries.
