NAME
ypinit - initialise YP system
SYNOPSIS
ypinit -c [domainname] [-l server1,...,serverN]
ypinit -m [domainname] [-l server1,...,serverN]
ypinit -s master_server [domainname] [-l server1,...,serverN]
DESCRIPTION
ypinit initialises the files and directories that are required for a YP
client or server.
If domainname isn't specified, the default domain (as returned by
domainname(1)) is used.
The following options are available:
-c Create a YP client. Initialises
/var/yp/binding/<domain>.ypservers to contain a list of ypservers
for ypbind(8) to connect to.
-l server1,...,serverN
Set the list of client servers from the command line rather than
prompting for them interactively. The format is a comma sepa-
rated list of server names with no spaces.
-m Create a master YP server. Generates map data from local files
(/etc/master.passwd, /etc/group, etc.).
-s master_server
Create a slave server. Downloads the maps from master_server,
which should be the active master YP server.
To rebuild or refresh the maps for the YP domain <domain>, change to the
/var/yp/<domain> directory and run make.
FILES
/var/yp master YP directory; contains the template makefiles.
/var/yp/<domain> directory to store YP maps for <domain>.
/var/yp/binding/<domain>.ypservers
list of YP servers to bind to.
