NAME

     netid -- YP network credential file

DESCRIPTION

     Files in netid format are rare.  One lives in the YP map netid.byname.  The format is rather simple.  Each row consists of two items: a key
     and a value.  When created by mknetid(8) there are three types of records.

     The first type is information about which GIDs a UID has:

     unix.<uid>@<yp-domain> <uid>:<gid>,<gid>

     The second type contains information about hosts:

     unix.<hostname>@<yp-domain> 0:<hostname>

     The third type refers to records from a netid file other than the two types above.

FILES

     /etc/netid  for lines not generated automatically by mknetid(8)

EXAMPLES

     A configuration file might look like the following:

     unix.10714@kaka 10714:400,10
     unix.jodie@kaka 0:jodie

NAME

     mknetid -- a NIS filter program

SYNOPSIS

     mknetid [-q] [-d domain] [-p passwdfile] [-g groupfile] [-h hostfile] [-m netidfile]

DESCRIPTION

     mknetid is used to create a map named netid.byname.  The map consists of information from passwd(5), group(5) and hosts(5) eventually con-
     catenated with a netid(5) file.

     The options are as follows:

     -d domain	    NIS domain to use instead of the default domain.

     -g groupfile   Alternate group(5) file.  Default is /etc/group.

     -h hostfile    Alternate hosts(5) file.  Default is /etc/hosts.

     -m netidfile   Alternate netid(5) file.  Default is /etc/netid.

     -p passwdfile  Alternate passwd(5) file.  Default is /etc/passwd.

     -q 	    Keep quiet about multiple occurrences of a uid; ignore all but the first.

FILES

     /etc/group
     /etc/hosts
     /etc/netid
     /etc/passwd
