NAME
     mknetid -- a NIS filter program

SYNOPSIS
     mknetid [-q] [-d domain] [-p passwdfile] [-g groupfile] [-h hostfile] [-m netidfile]

DESCRIPTION
     mknetid is used to create a map named netid.byname.  The map consists of information from passwd(5), group(5) and hosts(5) eventually con-
     catenated with a netid(5) file.

     The options are as follows:

     -d domain	    NIS domain to use instead of the default domain.

     -g groupfile   Alternate group(5) file.  Default is /etc/group.

     -h hostfile    Alternate hosts(5) file.  Default is /etc/hosts.

     -m netidfile   Alternate netid(5) file.  Default is /etc/netid.

     -p passwdfile  Alternate passwd(5) file.  Default is /etc/passwd.

     -q 	    Keep quiet about multiple occurrences of a uid; ignore all but the first.

     /etc/group
     /etc/hosts
