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       ypserver hostname
21           Use server hostname for the local domain.
22
23       broadcast
24           If no other server is given or all of them are not reachable, try a
25           broadcast call for the default domain to find a server.
26
27       hostname can either be an IP address or the system's DNS name. If it is
28       the system's DNS name, this name needs to be resolveable without the
29       help of NIS, before NIS is used.
30
31       If for a specific domain the broadcast option and fixed server are
32       given, ypbind-mt tries at first the given servers before falling back
33       to broadcasting for a running server.
34
35       Content of /etc/yp.conf can be changed by DHCP client, for more info
36       see ypbind(8).
