     NAME
          ypmake - rebuild yellow pages database

     SYNOPSIS
          cd /etc/yp ; make

     DESCRIPTION
          There is a Makefile in /etc/yp for building the yellow pages
          database.  With no arguments, make creates dbm databases for
          everything that is out of date, and then executes yppush(1M)
          to notify slave databases that there has been a change.

          Typing make passwd will create and yppush just the password
          database (assuming it is out of date).  Likewise, make hosts
          and make networks will create and yppush the databases
          derived from the host and network files, /etc/hosts and
          /etc/networks.

          There are three special variables: DIR which gives the
          directory of the source files; NOPUSH which when non-null
          inhibits doing a yppush of the new database files; and DOM,
          used to construct a domain other than the master's default
          domain.  The default for DIR is /etc, and the default for
          NOPUSH is the null string.

     FILES
