How to discover what naming services are available

Hello All,

A number of UNIX platforms currently bundle clients for the NIS, NIS+, and LDAP services.

I'd like to know how to discover what naming services are available.

E.g., results :
=============================
URL:
service:naming-directory:nis://192.168.1.100/eng.wiz.com
Attributes:
naming-context=eng.wiz.com
organization=flat
dynamic-updates=false
jndi-sp-available=true
master=true

URL:
service:naming-directory:nis://192.168.1.200/eng.wiz.com

Attributes:
naming-context=eng.wiz.com
organization=flat
dynamic-updates=false
jndi-sp-available=true
master=false
===================================

Thanks a lot!
LY

ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m [mname] | [-Vn] hostname] ypwhich -x DESCRIPTION
ypwhich returns the name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS name services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If invoked without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine. If hostname is specified, that machine is queried to find out which NIS master it is using. Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the NIS name services. OPTIONS

No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a map. When mname is omitted, produce a list of available maps. -x Display the map nickname translation table. -Vn Version of ypbind, V3 is default. ATTRIBUTES
