Modifying group attributes on servers
Use the Account Manager to create new group accounts on the
NIS master server; refer to

for more information on the Account Manager.
To distribute a group account using NIS or to change a
local account to a distributed account:
-
In the Account Manager, use the Host Selection facility
to log in to the NIS master server.
-
Select Add new group or Modify from the
Groups menu.
-
In the Add or Modify menu, select
Change distribution.
-
Select NIS from the list of distribution methods, and
click on the Distributed button.
To change a distributed to a local account, use the same
procedure, but click on the Not Distributed button in the
Change distribution menu.
Distributed group accounts can be removed or deactivated using the
same procedure as for conventional accounts.
