Listed below are the table files that are modified or used by the Solaris AdminSuite tools when you perform various network management tasks.
Note: The files referenced here exist on any Solaris machine that functions as a network management server. Solaris network management servers can support a specific list of client computers, managing one computer at a time, or can support entire NIS or NIS+ domains, managing multiple computers simultaneously.
