Sh NAME
Nm ypset
Nd tell
Xr ypbind 8
which NIS server process to use
Sh SYNOPSIS
Nm
Op Fl h Ar host
Op Fl d Ar domain
Ar server
Sh DESCRIPTION
Nm
tells the
Xr ypbind 8
process on the current machine which
Tn NIS
server process to communicate with.
If
Ar server
is down or is not running a
Tn NIS
server process, it is not discovered until
a
Tn NIS
client process attempts to access a
Tn NIS
map, at which time
Xr ypbind 8
tests the binding and takes appropriate action.
Pp
Nm
is most useful for binding a
Tn NIS
client that is not on the same broadcast
network as the closest
Tn NIS
server, but can also be used for debugging
a local network's
Tn NIS
configuration, testing specific
Tn NIS
client
programs, or binding to a specific server when there are many servers on
the local network supplying
Tn NIS
maps.
Pp
The options are as follows:
Bl -tag -width indent
It Fl h Ar host
Set the
Tn NIS
binding on
Ar host
instead of the local machine.
It Fl d Ar domain
Use the
Tn NIS
domain
Ar domain
instead of the default domain as returned by
Xr domainname 1 .
