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