SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/lib64/yp/makedbm  [  -a  |  -r  ] [ -b ] [ -c ] [ -s ] [ -l ] [ -i
10       YP_INPUT_NAME ] [ -o YP_OUTPUT_NAME ] [ -m YP_MASTER_NAME  ]  inputfile
11       dbname
12       /usr/lib64/yp/makedbm -u dbname
13       /usr/lib64/yp/makedbm -c
14       /usr/lib64/yp/makedbm --version

DESCRIPTION

17       makedbm  takes the inputfile and converts it to a ypserv database file.
18       In the moment, GDBM is used as database. Each line of the input file is
19       converted  to  a  single  record. All characters up to the first TAB or
20       SPACE are the key, and the rest of the line is the data.  makedbm  does
21       not treat `#' as a special character.

OPTIONS

24       -a     Special  support  for mail aliases. We couldn't use sendmail for
25              it, since sendmail uses db, but ypserv gdbm as database format.
26
27       -b     Insert the YP_INTERDOMAIN into  the  output.   This  key  causes
28              ypserv(8) to use DNS for host name and address lookups for hosts
29              not found in the maps.
30
31       -c     send a YPPROC_CLEAR to the local ypserv(8).  This causes  ypserv
32              to invalidate all cached entries.
33
34       -l     Convert the keys of the given map to lower case.
35
36       -i YP_INPUT_NAME
37              Create a special entry with the key YP_INPUT_NAME.
38
39       -m YP_MASTER_NAME
40              Create  a special entry with the key YP_MASTER_NAME.  If no mas‐
41              ter host name is specified, YP_MASTER_NAME will be  set  to  the
42              local host name.
43
44       -o YP_OUTPUT_NAME
45              Create a special entry with the key YP_OUTPUT_NAME.
46
47       -r     Handle `#' as comment sign and remove the comment.
48
49       -s     Secure  map.  Accept  connections  from secure NIS networks only
50              (reserved ports).
51
52       -u dbname
53              Dump a ypserv database file. Prints out the file in text format,
54              one  entry  per  line,  with a single space separating keys from
55              values.
56
57       --no-limit-check
58              Don't check for NIS key and data limit.
