NAME

       ypinit - build and install Network Information Service databases

SYNOPSIS

       NIS_domain]

       NIS_server_name NIS_domain]

   Remarks
       The  Network  Information  Service  (NIS) was formerly known as Yellow Pages (YP).  Although the name has changed, the functionality of the
       service remains the same.

DESCRIPTION

       is a shell script that creates Network Information Service (NIS) databases on either a master or  slave	NIS  server.   asks  a	few  self-
       explanatory  questions, and reports success or failure to the terminal.	For an overview of Network Information Service, see ypfiles(4) and
       ypserv(1M).

   Options
       recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

	      Create the local host as the master server to all maps (databases)
				  provided in the NIS domain (see domainname(1)).  All maps are built from scratch, either from  information  pro-
				  vided  to  at  run-time,  or from ASCII files in All such files should be complete and unabbreviated, unlike how
				  they may exist on a NIS client machine (see passwd(4) for examples of abbreviated files).

				  See ypmake(1M) for more information on how NIS databases are built on the master server.   Note  that  uses  the
				  option when invoking so newly formed maps are not immediately copied to slave servers (see ypmake(1M)).

	      Create		  NIS databases on a slave server by copying the databases from an existing NIS server that serves the NIS domain.

				  The NIS_server_name argument should be the host name of either the master server for all the maps or a server on
				  which the maps are current and stable.

	      Configures the local host as a NIS client, so that the NIS client
				  will attempt to bind to a particular NIS server.  Invocation of with a option prompts the user  to  construct  a
				  list	of  NIS  servers,  in  the  order  of preference, to which the client will try to bind.  Each of these NIS
				  servers must be listed in the file along with its IP Address.  This list of NIS servers is stored  in  the  file
				  This file is used by when invoked without the option.  (See ypbind(1M) in ypserv(1M)).

				  If  it is so desired that it is not necessary for a NIS client to bind to a NIS server in a particular list, the
				  installation mechanism could be ignored.

	      Causes		  to construct maps for the specified NIS_domain.  defaults to the NIS domain shown by the  command  (see  domain-
				  name(1).

RETURN VALUE

       returns exit code 0 if no errors occur; otherwise, it returns exit code 1.
