   NAME
         ypupdated - server for changing YP information

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypupdated [ -is ]

   DESCRIPTION
         ypupdated is a daemon that updates information in the YP name
         service, normally started up by inetd(1M).  ypupdated consults the
         file updaters(4) in the directory /var/yp to determine which YP maps
         should be updated and how to change them.

         By default, the daemon requires the most secure method of
         authentication available to it, either DES (secure) or UNIX
         (insecure).

         The following options are available:

         -i    Accept RPC calls with the insecure AUTH_UNIX credentials.  This
               allows programmatic updating of YP maps in all networks.

         -s    Only accept calls authenticated using the secure RPC mechanism
               (AUTH_DES authentication).  This disables programmatic updating
               of YP maps unless the network supports these calls.
