NAME
ypset —
SYNOPSIS
ypset |
[-h host]
[-d domain]
server |
DESCRIPTION
Theypset utility tells the
ypbind(8)
process on the current machine which NIS server process to communicate with.
If server is down or is not running a NIS server
process, it is not discovered until a NIS client process attempts to access a
NIS map, at which time
ypbind(8)
tests the binding and takes appropriate action.
The ypset utility is most useful for
binding a NIS client that is not on the same broadcast network as the
closest NIS server, but can also be used for debugging a local network's NIS
configuration, testing specific NIS client programs, or binding to a
specific server when there are many servers on the local network supplying
NIS maps.
The options are as follows:
-ddomain- Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
-hhost- Set the NIS binding on host instead of the local machine.
