       NAME
             ypupdated - server for changing NIS information

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

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

          Files
             /var/yp/updaters

       USAGE
             ypupdated is normally started up by inetd(1M).  By default,
             ypupdated requires the most secure method of authentication
             available to it, either DES (secure) or UNIX (insecure).

          Options
             ypupdated takes the following options:

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