YPSET(8) BSD System Manager's Manual YPSET(8)
NAME
ypset -- tell ypbind(8) which NIS server process to use
SYNOPSIS
ypset [-h host] [-d domain] server
DESCRIPTION
ypset tells the ypbind(8) process on the current machine which NIS server process to communicate with. If server is down or is not running a
NIS server process, it is not discovered until a NIS client process attempts to access a NIS map, at which time ypbind(8) tests the binding
and takes appropriate action.
ypset is most useful for binding a NIS client that is not on the same broadcast network as the closest NIS server, but can also be used for
debugging a local network's NIS configuration, testing specific NIS client programs, or binding to a specific server when there are many
servers on the local network supplying NIS maps.
The options are as follows:
-h host
Set the NIS binding on host instead of the local machine.
-d domain
Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
SEE ALSO
domainname(1), ypcat(1), ypmatch(1), ypwhich(1), nis(8), ypbind(8), yppoll(8)
