This map is used to hold credential information for both users and hosts in an operating system independent format. .Pp The .Nm command checks for duplicate occurrences of netids and filters them out. .Pp The .Nm command prints its results on the standard output. It is usually called only by .Pa /var/yp/Makefile when rebuilding the .Tn NIS maps. .Sh OPTIONS The .Nm command supports the following options: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl q Normally, .Nm prints a warning message when it encounters a duplicate netid. This flag turns on 'quiet' mode, allowing the warnings to be suppressed. Other error messages may still be generated. .It Fl g Ar group_file Specify the location of the group information file. The compiled-in default is .Pa /etc/group . .It Fl p Ar passwd_file Specify the location of the passwd information file. The compiled-in default is .Pa /etc/passwd . .It Fl h Ar hosts_file Specify the location of the hosts database file. The compiled-in default is .Pa /etc/hosts . .It Fl n Ar netid_file Specify the location of the netid information file. The compiled-in default is .Pa /etc/netid . Note that no error is generated if the netid database can't be found. The netid database is not likely to be present on most systems until .Tn Secure RPC support is added to .Dx . .It Fl d Ar domain By default, the .Nm command uses the system domainname when generating netid records. If the system domainname is not set, the domain must be specified on the command line with the .Fl d flag. If the domainname is set, the .Fl d flag may be used to override it. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /var/yp/Makefile -compact .It Pa /var/yp/Makefile the Makefile that calls .Nm yp_mkdb and .Nm to build the .Tn NIS databases .It Pa /etc/group the default group database file .It Pa /etc/passwd the default passwd database file .It Pa /etc/hosts the default hosts database file .It Pa /etc/netid the default netid database file .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr yp 8 , .Xr yp_mkdb 8 .Sh AUTHORS .An Bill Paul Aq Mt wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu
