ypmake(1M)                                             ypmake(1M)



NAME
     ypmake - rebuilds the Network Information Service (NIS) maps

SYNOPSIS
     cd /etc/yp; make [set-name] [variable=value...]

ARGUMENTS
     set-name
          Specifies a set of maps. If you use a set-name
          argument, make rebuilds and runs yppush for the maps in
          the set specified by set-name only. The value of
          set-name can be group, hosts, networks, passwd,
          protocols, or services.

     variable=value
          Sets the value of one of three make environment
          variables:

          DIR=directory
               Specifies the directory to search for the source
               files that are used to generate the NIS maps. The
               default directory is /etc.

          DOM=domain-name
               Specifies the name of the domain for which to
               rebuild the NIS maps. The maps are built in the
               directory /etc/yp/domain-name.  The default value
               of DOM is the current domain name as obtained from
               running the domainname command.

          NOPUSH=number
               When the value of NOPUSH is non-null, make does
               not run yppush to notify the slave servers that a
               map has changed.  The default value of NOPUSH is
               the null string.

DESCRIPTION
     /etc/yp contains the file Makefile that is used by make to
     rebuild the NIS maps on the master server.  With no
     arguments, make runs makedbm to rebuild those maps that are
     out-of-date with their corresponding source files in /etc
     and then runs yppush to notify slave servers that there has
     been a change.

     During the make process, files are created with the
     extension of .time.  These files are used by the file
     Makefile to determine which databases to rebuild.  Two
     commands, stdhosts and revnetgroup, are used exclusively by
     Makefile to reformat certain files before running makedbm.

EXAMPLES
     This command line rebuilds all the maps that are out-of-date
     and runs yppush:

        make

     This command line rebuilds the password maps, assuming that
     they are out-of-date, and runs yppush:

        make passwd

     This command line uses files in /tmp to make the host maps
     for a domain called mydomain but does not run yppush:

        make hosts DIR=/tmp DOM=mydomain NOPUSH=1

FILES

          File that tells make whether the alias maps are out-
          of-date
     /etc/yp/ethers.time
          File that tells make whether the ether maps are out-
          of-date
     /etc/yp/group.time
          File that tells make whether the group maps are out-
          of-date
     /etc/yp/hosts.time
          File that tells make whether the hosts maps are out-
          of-date
     /etc/yp/Makefile
          File that tells make how to rebuild the maps
     /etc/yp/networks.time
          File that tells make whether the network maps are out-
          of-date
     /etc/yp/passwd.time
          File that tells make whether the password maps are
          out-of-date
     /etc/yp/protocols.time
          File that tells make whether the protocols maps are
          out-of-date
     /etc/yp/revnetgroup
          Executable file that reverses the fields in the
          netgroup file
     /etc/yp/rpc.time
          File that tells make whether the remote procedure call
          (RPC) maps are out-of-date
     /etc/yp/services.time
          File that tells make whether the service maps are out-
          of-date
