MAKEFILE.YP(8) - System Manager’s Manual # MAKEFILE.YP(8) - System Manager’s Manual
NAME # Makefile.yp - generate and distribute YP maps
SYNOPSIS # cd /var/yp; make
DESCRIPTION # The Makefile.yp utility generates or updates the YP maps to be served by ypserv(8).
Each YP domain to be served must have its own subdirectory below /var/yp. Use ypinit(8) to set up such subdirectories. In particular, ypinit(8) will copy /var/yp/Makefile.yp into each new domain subdirectory.

SYNOPSIS # ypxfr [-cf] [-C tid prog ipadd port] [-d domain] [-h host] [-s domain] mapname
