ypmake(1M)                      ONC 5.4R3.00                      ypmake(1M)


NAME
       ypmake - rebuild Network Information Service database

SYNOPSIS
       cd /etc/yp; make [ map ]

DESCRIPTION
       The file called Makefile in /etc/yp is used by make to build the
       Network Information Service database.  With no arguments, make
       creates dbm databases for any NIS maps that are out-of-date, and then
       executes yppush(1M) to notify slave databases that there has been a
       change.

       If you supply a map on the command line, make will update that map
       only.  Typing make passwd will create and yppush the password
       database (assuming it is out of date).  Likewise, make hosts and make
       networks will create and yppush the host and network files,
       /etc/hosts and /etc/networks.

       There are four special variables used by make: SRC_DIR, which gives
       the directory of the source files; NOPUSH, which when non-null
       inhibits doing a yppush of the new database files; DOM, used to
       construct a domain other than the master's default domain and
       INTERDOMAIN, which, when set to -b, allows NIS to access the domain
       name server.  The domain name server must be set up and configured
       for the INTERDOMAIN variable to work (see Chapter 3, "The Network
       Information Service," in Managing ONC (Trademark)/NFS® and Its
       Facilities on the DG/UX System for more information).  The default
       for SRC_DIR is /etc, and the default for NOPUSH is the null string.

       Refer to ypfiles(4) and ypserv(1M) for an overview of the NIS.
