ypsetup(8yp) ypsetup(8yp) Name ypsetup - set up the yellow pages (YP) environment Syntax /usr/etc/ypsetup Description A local area network must be set up on your system before you can set up YP. You must know your system's default YP domain name and whether your system will be a master server, slave server, or client. If your system is to be the master server for your YP domain, be sure no other master has been established and be sure the files to be distributed are in the directory Note that the files to be distrib- uted should be modified from the original files by removing the root entry in the file. If your system is not to be the master server, be sure a master already exists for your YP domain. Once you know this information, run with the system in multiuser mode and answer its questions. Once YP is installed on a machine, it cannot be used until the file is modified to contain YP entries on the desired database lines. The command reminds a user to run or edit the file manually.
