NAME

6       rpc.ypupdated, ypupdated - server for changing NIS information
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/rpc.ypupdated [-is]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       ypupdated  is a daemon that updates information in the Network Informa‐
14       tion Service (NIS). ypupdated consults the   updaters(4)  file  in  the
15       /var/yp directory to determine which NIS maps should be updated and how
16       to change them.
17
18
19       By default, the daemon requires the most secure method  of  authentica‐
20       tion available to it, either DES (secure) or UNIX (insecure).
21
22
23       On  start up, ypupdated checks for the existence of a NIS to LDAP (N2L)
24       configuration file, /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping. If  the  file  is  present,
25       ypupdated  generates  an  informational message and exits. ypupdated is
26       not supported in N2L mode.
27

OPTIONS

29       -i    Accept RPC calls with the insecure  AUTH_UNIX  credentials.  This
30             allows programmatic updating of the NIS maps in all networks.
31
32
33       -s    Accept  only  calls authenticated using the secure  RPC mechanism
34             (AUTH_DES authentication). This disables programmatic updating of
35             the NIS maps unless the network supports these calls.

NOTES

66       The  Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow
67       Pages (YP).  The functionality of the two services  remains  the  same.
68       Only the name has changed. The name Yellow Pages is a registered trade‐
69       mark in the United Kingdom of British Telecommunications  PLC,  and  it
