NAME

ypmake − rebuild NIS database

DESCRIPTION

The server for NIS version 2, formerly knows as YP, is not supported in SunOS anymore. It has been replaced by NIS+, the new version of the Network Information Service, see nis(1).  This release only supports the client functionality of NIS, see ypclnt(3N).  The client functions are either supported by the ypserv process running on a machine with an earlier version of SunOS or by the NIS+ server in "YP-compatibility" mode, see rpc.nisd(1M).  See ypfiles(4) for more details.
