NAME
     ypupdated - server for changing NIS information

SYNOPSIS
     rpc.ypupdated [ -is ]

DESCRIPTION
     ypupdated is a daemon that updates information in the Net-
     work Information Service, normally started up by inetd(1M).
     ypupdated consults the file updaters(4) in the directory
     /etc/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).

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

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

FILES
     /etc/yp/updaters
