ypset
tells the
ypbind(8) process on the
current machine which NIS server process to communicate with. If
server is down or is not running a NIS server process,
it is not discovered until a NIS client process attempts to access a NIS
map, at which time ypbind(8)
tests the binding and takes appropriate action.
ypset
is most useful for binding a NIS
client that is not on the same broadcast network as the closest NIS server,
but can also be used for debugging a local network's NIS configuration,
testing specific NIS client programs, or binding to a specific server when
there are many servers on the local network supplying NIS maps.
The options are as follows:
-h
host-d
domaindomainname(1), ypcat(1), ypmatch(1), ypwhich(1), nis(8), ypbind(8), yppoll(8)
