NAME

       /usr/lib/yp/mknetid --version

DESCRIPTION

       mknetid	generates  the netid.byname NIS map from the contents of the group(5), passwd(5), hosts(5) and netid files. It checks for multiple
       entrys of netids and warn for them or filters them out. It is only called by /var/yp/Makefile when rebuilding the NIS map.

OPTIONS

       -q     This flag turns on 'quiet' mode, don't print a warning message when finding an duplicate netid entry.

       -h hosts
	      The -h flag can be used to specify the use of another hosts file than the default /etc/hosts.

       -p passwd
	      The -p flag can be used to specify the use of another passwd file than the default /etc/passwd.

       -g group
	      The -g flag can be used to specify the use of another group file than the default /etc/group.

       -n netid
	      The -n flag can be used to specify the use of another netid file than the default /etc/netid.

       -d domain
	      The mknetid command uses the system domainname by default. If it is not set or you whish to override it, you must use the -d parame-
	      ter.

       --version
	      Prints the version number
