ypupdated(1M)                    UNIX System V                    ypupdated(1M)


NAME
      ypupdated - server for changing NIS information

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

DESCRIPTION
      ypupdated is a daemon that updates information in the NIS name service,
      normally started up by inetd(1M).  ypupdated consults the file
      updaters(4) in the directory /var/yp to determine which NIS 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 NIS maps in all networks.

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