NAME
       ypupdated, rpc.ypupdated - server for changing NIS information

SYNOPSIS
   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 daemon that updates information in the databases.  It is activated at system startup when the variable is set to 1 in file on the  NIS
       master server.  consults the file in the 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 (without augmented
       security).

   Options
       supports the following options:

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

	      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.
