Name
       ypmake - rebuild yellow pages (YP) database using the make command

Syntax
       cd /etc/yp
       make [ options ] [ map ]

Description
       The  command  uses  the to build the yellow pages database.  With no arguments, creates databases for any YP maps that are out-of-date, and
       then executes to notify slave databases that there has been a change.  It is important to note that the command should only be executed	at
       a  YP  master  server  machine.	If it is executed from either a slave server or a pure YP client machine, the created changes will only be
       overwritten when the next YP master server machine update, using is performed.

       The options argument can be used to change the default values of three special variables used by DIR , NOPUSH , and DOM .  The DIR variable
       instructs  to  give  the  directory  of the source files.  The NOPUSH variable, which when non-null, inhibits updating of the new data base
       files using the function.  The DOM variable, instructs to construct a domain other than the master's default domain.  The default  for  DIR
       is  and	the default for NOPUSH is the null string.  To change the default values of these special variables, an options argument format of
       special_variable = value is used.  See the Examples section for an example.

       The map argument supplied on the command line instructs to update only the specified map.  The specified maps are those	located  at  where
       {domain}  is  the  yellow  pages domain name.  Some typical entries for the map argument are passwd, hosts, and networks.  Typing causes to
       create and update the YP password database, if it is out of date.  The command updates the password data base using Therefore, typing
       make host
       or
       make networks
       causes to create and to update the host and network files, and respectively.

       See and for an overview of the yellow pages.

Examples
       This example causes to create a password yellow pages map for the domain instead of for the default domain:
       make DOM=NewDomain passwd

NAME

       ypmake - rebuild NIS database

SYNOPSIS

       cd /var/yp ; make [map]

DESCRIPTION

       The  file  called Makefile in /var/yp is used by make(1S) to build the  Network Information Service (NIS) database. With no arguments, make
       creates dbm databases for any NIS maps that are out-of-date, and then executes yppush(1M) to notify slave databases that there has  been  a
       change.

       If  you	supply	a map on the command line, make will update that map only. Typing make passwd will create and yppush the password database
       (assuming it is out of date). Likewise, make ipnodes and make networks will create and  yppush  the  ipnodes  and  network  files,  $(INET-
       DIR)/ipnodes and $(DIR)/networks.

       There  are  four  special  variables used by make: DIR, which gives the directory of the source files; NOPUSH, which when non-null inhibits
       doing a yppush of the new database files; INETDIR, which gives the directory of the ipnodes source file; and DOM, which	is  used  to  con-
       struct  a domain other than the master's default domain. The default for DIR is /etc, and the default for INETDIR is /etc/inet. The default
       for NOPUSH is the null string.

       Refer to ypfiles(4) and ypserv(1M) for an overview of the  NIS service.

       If a NIS to LDAP (N2L) configuration file, /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping, is present, the NIS server components run in N2L mode. In N2L mode,  the
       server  components  use	a  new	set of map files with an LDAP-prefix, based on the LDAP DIT. In N2L mode, authoritative NIS information is
       obtained from the DIT. The NIS source files and ypmake have no role, and they should not be used. If ypmake is accidentally run,  then  the
       server components will detect this, and will log a warning message. For additional information, see ypfiles(4).

FILES

       /var/yp		  Directory containing	NIS configuration files.

       /etc/inet/hosts	  System hosts file.

       /etc		  Default directory for source files.

NOTES

       The   NIS  makefile  is	only  used  when running the  ypserv(1M) server to provide  NIS services. If these are being provided by the  NIS+
       server running in NIS compatibility mode, see  rpc.nisd(1M); this makefile is not relevant.  See  ypfiles(4) for more details.

       The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP).  The functionality of the two remains the same. Only the
       name  has  changed. The name Yellow Pages is a registered trademark in the United Kingdom of British Telecommunications plc, and may not be
