GEN000000-SOL00200 - The asetenv file YPCHECK variable must be set to true when NIS+ is configured.

Information

If YPCHECK is not set to true in asetenv, then ypfiles may not be checked.

Solution

Edit the ASET configuration and set YPCHECK to true on systems running NIS. (If NIS+ is configured, YPCHECK must only be set to false to avoid going into NIS compatibility mode.) Configure NIS to use YPCHECK.
