NAME
ypset —
tell
ypbind(8) which NIS server process to use
SYNOPSIS
ypset |
[-h host]
[-d domain]
server |
DESCRIPTION
ypset 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.
ypset 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:
-hhost- Set the NIS binding on host instead of the local machine.
-ddomain- Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
