.Dt NICKNAMES 5
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm nicknames
|
|
.Nd map nickname translation file for NIS (YP)
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr ypcat 1 ,
|
|
.Xr ypmatch 1 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ypwhich 1
|
|
commands reference NIS (YP) maps as specified by the user.
|
|
Occasionally it is desirable to use a shorthand reference for a
|
|
longer map name, hence the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file, kept in
|
|
.Dq /var/yp/nicknames.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The format of the file is
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl nickname map
|
|
.Pp
|
|
one pair per line.
|
|
The default installed nickname map is as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width protocols -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It passwd
|
|
passwd.byname
|
|
.It group
|
|
group.byname
|
|
.It networks
|
|
networks.byaddr
|
|
.It hosts
|
|
hosts.byname
|
|
.It protocols
|
|
protocols.bynumber
|
|
.It services
|
|
services.byname
|
|
.It aliases
|
|
aliases.byname
|
|
.It ethers
|
|
ethers.byname
|
|
.It master.passwd
|
|
master.passwd.byname
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A blank or incomplete
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file will affect any scripts which use nicknames for map lookup,
|
|
whereas if the file is simply missing, the default compiled-in list
|
|
will be used.

file first appeared in Solaris 2.4.
