Can all YP/NIS commands still be used?
This will depend upon whether there is a NIS server available for the domain OR whether the NIS+ server is running in YP compat mode. If it is, then all of the YP commands should be usable, except those commands that change the NIS maps such as yppasswd or chkey for publickey information. Even if the NIS and NIS+ domainnames are not the same, ypset can be run and bound to a different domain than its own local domain. There will be some differences in terms of the names of the automounter maps. These maps no longer contain embedded dots. Also, some of the maps, such as the hosts map, may now look different. If some of the applications use NIS API and refer to maps with embedded dots in them, then they will not be able to find those maps. It is recommended that NIS+ commands be used for queries.
