Description
There are several places in the getpublickey(3nsl) man page where NIS+ left. NIS+ should be removed from the man page.
o NIS map ``publickey.byname'' or the NIS+ table ``cred.org_dir''. The sources and their lookup order are specified in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. See nsswitch.conf(4).
WARNINGS If getpublickey() gets the public key from any source other than NIS+, all authenticated NIS+ operations may fail. To ensure that this does not happen, edit the nsswitch.conf(4) file to make sure that the public key is obtained from NIS+. NOTES NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris operating system. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available in the current Solaris release. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
In addition, the following man pages contains word "nisplus": newkey(1m), lpset(1m), keyserv(1m), dhcpconfig(1m), nsswitch.conf(4), bootparams(4), dhcpsvc.conf(4), group(4), prof_attr(4), auth_attr(4), passwd(1), chkey(1), keylogout(1), keylogin(1), login(1), getpublickey(3nsl), getgrnam(3c), getpwnam(3c), and sharemgr(1m). There is also bunch of man pages containing "NIS+". We should review all of such man pages and remove "nisplus" and "NIS+" from them eventually.
