NAME
       ypupdated - server for changing NIS information

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/rpc.ypupdated [ -is ]

DESCRIPTION
       Ypupdated is a server (daemon) that updates information in the
       Network Information Service.  ypupdated consults the file updaters(4)
       in the directory /etc/yp to determine which NIS maps should be
       updated and how to change them.

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

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

       -i     also accept RPC calls with the insecure AUTH_UNIX credentials.
              This allows programmatic updating of NIS maps in all networks.

FILES
       /etc/yp/updaters
