NAME

6       yptest - test NIS configuration
7

SYNOPSIS

9       yptest [-q] [-d domain] [-h host] [-m map] [-u user]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       yptest calls various NIS functions to check if the NIS configuration is
13       correct and works as expected.
14

OPTIONS

16       -q     Be quiet, don't print messages
17
18       -d domainname
19              Specify a domain other than the default domain  as  returned  by
20              domainname(8).  This option is not supported by all tests.
21
22       -h hostname
23              Query  ypserv  on  hostname  instead  of the currently used one.
24              This option is not supported by all tests.
25
26       -m map Use the map map for the tests instead  of  passwd.byname.   This
27              option should be used if the default map does not exist.
28
29       -u user
30              Use  the  account user instead of nobody.  This option should be
31              used if the nobody account does not exist in the  map  used  for
32              testing (passwd.byname or the one given with the -m option).
