nss2svc(8)							    nss2svc(8)

NAME
       nss2svc, svc2nss - keep /etc/svc.conf in sync with /etc/nsswitch.conf

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/nss2svc [-I] [-N nsswitch.conf] [-S svc.conf]

       /usr/sbin/svc2nss [-I] [-N nsswitch.conf] [-S svc.conf]

OPTIONS
       Do  not	save the previous copy of the target file as a file.  Override
       the default path of /etc/nsswitch.conf.	Override the default  path  of
       /etc/svc.conf.

OPERANDS
       none.

DESCRIPTION
       The  /usr/sbin/nss2svc utility migrates those portions of the /etc/nss‐
       witch.conf file which are compatible with the /etc/svc.conf format into
       the latter file. By default (in the absence of the -I option), it saves
       the previous contents of the updated file in /etc/svc.conf.old.

       The /usr/sbin/svc2nss utility converts entries from  the	 /etc/svc.conf
       file  into entries for the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, updating the latter
       file. By default (in the absence of the -I option), it saves the previ‐
       ous contents of the updated file in /etc/nsswitch.conf.old.

       For  either  utility, the file paths can be changed by using the -N and
       -S options.

EXIT STATUS
       Success.	 An error occurred.

ERRORS
       The following error messages (or their localized	 equivalents)  may  be
       issued  to  standard error by these utilities.  Shown in response to an
       invalid command line, to remind the user of the proper options for  the
       utility. The %s will be replaced with the utility name.	Shown when the
       file from which entries are to be converted can not be found or is  not
       a  regular  file.  The  %s  will be replaced with the path name for the
       file.  Shown when the file into which the converted entries are	to  be
       placed  exists  and is not a regular file. The %s will be replaced with
       the path name for the file.  Shown when the  target  file  can  not  be
       updated by the user. The %s will be replaced with the utility name.

       The following message normally appears on standard output at the end of
       successful use of either of these utilities.  Issued at the end of pro‐
       cessing	when  the  -I option was not used, and the target file already
       exists.

       Other error messages may be displayed from the ln or mv commands.

EXAMPLES
       The following example shows the typical usage from within  the  nssetup
       utility.	 # /usr/sbin/nss2svc -I -N /etc/nsswitch.conf -S /etc/svc.conf
       # The following example shows testing to see what entries will be writ‐
       ten  by	svc2nss.   #  /usr/sbin/svc2nss	 -N  test.out  Saving previous
       ./test.out  in  ./test.out.old  #  cat  test.out	 aliases:  files   nis
       auth_prpasswd: files nis ...  services: files nis #

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       The  following  environment  variables affect the execution of nss2svc:
       Provides a default value for the	 internationalization  variables  that
       are  unset  or  null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value
       from the default locale is used. If  any	 of  the  internationalization
       variables contain an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of
       the variables had been defined.	If set to a  non-empty	string	value,
       overrides  the  values of all the other internationalization variables.
       Determines the locale for the format and contents  of  diagnostic  mes‐
       sages  written  to  standard error.  Determines the location of message
       catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.

FILES
       Path to the default nsswitch file.  Path to the default svc.conf file.
