NAME

       rpc.ypupdated, ypupdated - server for changing NIS information

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/rpc.ypupdated [-is]

DESCRIPTION

       ypupdated  is  a  daemon that updates information in the Network Information Service (NIS). ypupdated consults the  updaters(4) file in the
       /var/yp directory to determine which NIS maps should be updated and how to change them.

       By default, the daemon requires the most secure method of authentication available to it, either DES (secure) or UNIX (insecure).

       On start up, ypupdated checks for the existence of a NIS to LDAP (N2L) configuration file, /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping. If the file is  present,
       ypupdated generates an informational message and exits. ypupdated is not supported in N2L mode.

OPTIONS

       -i    Accept RPC calls with the insecure  AUTH_UNIX credentials. This allows programmatic updating of the NIS maps in all networks.

       -s    Accept only calls authenticated using the secure  RPC mechanism (AUTH_DES authentication). This disables programmatic updating of the
	     NIS maps unless the network supports these calls.

FILES

       /var/yp/updaters 	 Configuration file for rpc.updated command.

       /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping	 Configuration file for N2L
