ypmake

ypmake(8yp) ypmake(8yp)

Name
ypmake - rebuild yellow pages (YP) database using the make command

Syntax
cd /etc/yp
make [ options ] [ map ]

Description
The command uses the to build the yellow pages database. With no arguments, creates databases for any YP maps that are out-of-date, and
then executes to notify slave databases that there has been a change. It is important to note that the command should only be executed at
a YP master server machine. If it is executed from either a slave server or a pure YP client machine, the created changes will only be
overwritten when the next YP master server machine update, using is performed.

The options argument can be used to change the default values of three special variables used by DIR , NOPUSH , and DOM . The DIR variable
instructs to give the directory of the source files. The NOPUSH variable, which when non-null, inhibits updating of the new data base
files using the function. The DOM variable, instructs to construct a domain other than the master's default domain. The default for DIR
is and the default for NOPUSH is the null string. To change the default values of these special variables, an options argument format of
special_variable = value is used. See the Examples section for an example.

The map argument supplied on the command line instructs to update only the specified map. The specified maps are those located at where
{domain} is the yellow pages domain name. Some typical entries for the map argument are passwd, hosts, and networks. Typing causes to
create and update the YP password database, if it is out of date. The command updates the password data base using Therefore, typing
make host
or
make networks
causes to create and to update the host and network files, and respectively.

See and for an overview of the yellow pages.

Examples
This example causes to create a password yellow pages map for the domain instead of for the default domain:
make DOM=NewDomain passwd
