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:
-
-
- -h
host
- Set the NIS binding on host instead
of the local machine.
-
-
- -d
domain
- Use the NIS domain domain instead of
the default domain as returned by
domainname(1).
