ypset - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
ypset - bind ypbind to a particular NIS server
SYNOPSYS
ypset [
-d domain ]
[
-h hostname ]
server
DESCRIPTION
In order to run
ypset, ypbind must be initiated with the
-ypset or
-ypsetme options. See
ypbind(8).
ypset tells
ypbind to get NIS services for the specified
domain from the
ypserv(8)
process running on
server.
In cases where several hosts on the local net are supplying NIS services,
it is possible for
ypbind to rebind to another host even while you attempt to find out if the
ypset operation succeeded. For example, you can type:
Tag | Description |
|
example% ypset host1
example% ypwhich
host2
|
|
which can be confusing. This is a function of the NIS subsystems
attempt to know always a running NIS server, and occurs when host1
does not respond to ypbind because it is not running ypserv (or is
overloaded), and host2, running ypserv, gets the binding.
Server indicates the NIS server to bind to, and must be specified as a name
or an IP address. This will work only if the node has a current valid
binding for the domain in question, and
ypbind has been set to allow use of
ypset. In most cases,
server should be specified as an IP address.
OPTIONS
Tag | Description |
-d domain | |
Specify a domain other than the default domain as returned by
domainname(1).
|
-h hostname | |
Set the NIS binding on host
hostname
instead of the local machine.
