Hi SunManagers
WE are running NIS+ , and are finding that we are losing members of
aliases , from
the mail_aliases.org_dir table. I am sure that this is not due to
operator error. A more
detailed summary of the problem follows , thanks in advance for all
assistance.

Initially we were running NIS+ with YP compatability
on an Ultra1 , running Solaris 2.5.1
Admin of this was done via /usr/bin/solstice , and
on occasions from the command line
In January of this year I upgraded this to Solaris
8 , with Rec & Sec patches from this period. I also
upgraed the PROM. We ran with this upgrade for
a couple of weeks without problems.
I then moved the NIS+ root master to a Sun Blade 100
running Solaris 8 with an identical Rec and Sec patch level.
The hostname and the IP address from the Ultra1 were
transferred to the Blade 100 , and the Ultra1 was
removed from the network.
At the time of moving to the Blade 100 we started to use
/opt/SUNWseam/3_0/bin/admapp instead of Solstice.
Since moving to the new server we have noticed that
usernames have been disappearing from the NIS+ mail
aliases ( mail_aliases.org_dir ). I am satisfied
that this is not due to operator error.
