NAME

6       yp.conf - NIS binding configuration file
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The file /etc/yp.conf is read from ypbind(8) at startup or when
10       receiving signal SIGHUP. The entries are used for the initial binding.
11       Valid entries are
12
13       domain nisdomain server hostname
14          Use server hostname for the domain nisdomain. You could have more
15          then one entry of this type for a single domain.
16
17       domain nisdomain broadcast
18          Use broadcast on the local net for domain nisdomain.
19
20       domain nisdomain slp
21          Query the local running SLP server for hosts running ypserv and
22          distributing nisdomain. This option is only available, if ypbind was
23          compiled with SLP support.
24
25       ypserver hostname
26          Use server hostname for the local domain.
27
28       broadcast
29          If no other server is given or all of them are not reachable, try a
30          broadcast call for the default domain to find a server.
31
32       If for a specific domain the broadcast option and fixed server are
33       given, ypbind-mt tries at first the given servers before falling back
34       to broadcasting for a running server.
