STDHOSTS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual STDHOSTS(8)NAME
stdhosts -- a NIS filter program
SYNOPSIS
stdhosts [-n] [file]
DESCRIPTION
stdhosts parses the hosts(5) style input stream (stdin, or file if given), and outputs lines containing only the IPv4 address and host name.
stdhosts is used by other NIS programs when creating some of the NIS maps.
-n allows other address types in the output, including IPv6 addresses.

YPSERV(8) BSD System Manager's Manual YPSERV(8)NAME
ypserv -- NIS server daemon
SYNOPSIS
ypserv [-dfl] [-p port]
DESCRIPTION
ypserv is a fundamental part of the network information system called NIS. This server provides information from NIS maps to the NIS clients
on the network.
A NIS map is stored on the server as a db(3) database. A number of NIS maps is grouped together in a domain. ypserv determines the domains
it serves by looking for a directory with the domain name in /var/yp.
In an effort to improve the security of NIS (which has, historically, not been very good), this ypserv has support for libwrap-based access
control. See hosts_access(5) for more information. The daemon used for access control is the name which ypserv was invoked as (typically
``ypserv''). If a host is not allowed to query this NIS server, ypserv will return the NIS result code YP_NODOM. To avoid problems with DNS
lookups causing ypserv to hang, ypserv disables DNS lookups for its client hosts_access(5) lists. The result is that ypserv can only use
address based patterns. This also means that wildcard patterns such as LOCAL or KNOWN will not work.
The process pid of the ypserv process can be found in the file /var/run/ypserv.pid.
The options are as follows:
-d Use internet Domain Name System. If a query to map hosts.byname or hosts.byaddr fails, make a DNS query and return the result if
successful.
-f Run in the foreground.
-l Enable logging of all requests.
-p port
Bind to the specified port instead of dynamically allocating one.
All messages are sent to the system log with the facility LOG_DAEMON. Error messages have the priority LOG_ERR. Refused requests are logged
with the priority LOG_WARNING. All other messages are logged with the priority LOG_INFO.

This implementation of ypserv was originally written by Mats O Jansson <moj@stacken.kth.se>. The access control code was later re-written
from scratch by
Jason R. Thorpe <thorpej@NetBSD.org>.

Introduction
I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm

99600 ssssssssss
9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.
I've got the Oracle installation guide for it and I got as far as:

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
