.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
tells the
|
|
.Xr ypbind 8
|
|
process on the current machine which
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
server process to communicate with.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar server
|
|
is down or is not running a
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
server process, it is not discovered until
|
|
a
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
client process attempts to access a
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
map, at which time
|
|
.Xr ypbind 8
|
|
tests the binding and takes appropriate action.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is most useful for binding a
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
client that is not on the same broadcast
|
|
network as the closest
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
server, but can also be used for debugging
|
|
a local network's
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
configuration, testing specific
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
client
|
|
programs, or binding to a specific server when there are many servers on
|
|
the local network supplying
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
maps.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl h Ar host
|
|
Set the
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
binding on
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
instead of the local machine.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar domain
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Tn NIS
|
|
domain
|
|
.Ar domain
|
|
instead of the default domain as returned by
|
|
.Xr domainname 1 .
