The fnsypd daemon is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service that accepts requests from NIS clients to update and modify Federated Naming Service
(FNS) contexts. This daemon runs on an NIS master server with FNS on top of it. The fnsypd daemon requires the Secure
Key Infrastructure (SKI) mechanism for authentication. The SKI mechanism is part of the SUNWski package. If SUNWski is not installed, authentication cannot be performed
and users will receive "permission denied" error messages. The SUNWski man pages are located at /opt/SUNWski/man.
fnsypd enables users and hosts to modify only their respective FNS contexts. Organization, site, hostname and username contexts cannot be modified
using fnsypd.
