ypmake(1M)                       UNIX System V                       ypmake(1M)


NAME
      ypmake - rebuild YP database

SYNOPSIS
      cd /var/yp ; make [ map ]

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      YP maps that are out-of-date, and then executes yppush(1M) to notify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

      If map is supplied on the command line, make will update that map only.

      There are three special variables used by make:  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.

      ypmake also creates an entry in /var/yp/aliases.

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