NAME

       rpc.nisd_resolv, nisd_resolv - NIS+ service daemon

SYNOPSIS

       rpc.nisd_resolv [-v | -V]  [ -F [-C fd]] [-t xx] [-p yy]

DESCRIPTION

       rpc.nisd_resolv  is  an auxiliary process which provides DNS forwarding service for NIS hosts requests to both ypserv and rpc.nisd that are
       running in the NIS compatibility mode. It is generally started by invoking  rpc.nisd(1M) with the -B  option  or  ypserv(1M)  with  the  -d
       option. Although it is not recommended, rpc.nisd_resolv can also be started independently with the following options.

       This  command requires that the /etc/resolv.conf file be setup for communication with a DNS nameserver. The nslookup utility can be used to
       verify communication with a DNS nameserver.  See resolv.conf(4) and nslookup(1M).

OPTIONS

       -F       Run in foreground.

       -C fd    Use  fd for service xprt (from nisd).

       -v       Verbose. Send output to the syslog daemon.

       -V       Verbose. Send output to stdout.

       -t xx    Use transport  xx.

       -p yy    Use transient program#  yy.
