NAME
/etc/yp.conf - NIS binding configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/yp.conf is read from ypbind(8) at startup or when receiving signal SIGHUP. The entries are used for the initial binding.
Valid entries are
domain nisdomain server hostname
Use server hostname for the domain nisdomain. You could have more then one entry of this type for a single domain.
domain nisdomain broadcast
Use broadcast on the local net for domain nisdomain.
ypserver hostname
Use server server for the local domain.
If for a specific domain the broadcast option and fixed server are given, ypbind-mt tries at first the given servers before falling back to
broadcasting for a running server.
