.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl q
.Op Fl g Ar group_file
.Op Fl p Ar passwd_file
.Op Fl h Ar hosts_file
.Op Fl n Ar netid_file
.Op Fl d Ar domain
.Sh DESCRIPTION
2002-07-06 19:19:48 +00:00
The
.Nm
utility processes the contents of the
.Xr group 5 ,
.Xr passwd 5 ,
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.Xr hosts 5
and
.Xr netid 5
files into the format used to generate the
.Pa netid.byname
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.Tn NIS
map.
This map is used to hold credential information for both users
and hosts in an operating system independent format.
.Pp
The
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.Nm
2002-07-06 19:19:48 +00:00
utility checks for duplicate occurrences of netids and filters
them out.
.Pp
The
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.Nm
2002-07-06 19:19:48 +00:00
utility prints its results on the standard output.
It is usually called
only by
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.Pa /var/yp/Makefile
when rebuilding the
.Tn NIS
maps.
.Sh OPTIONS
The
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.Nm
2002-07-06 19:19:48 +00:00
utility supports the following options:
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl q
Normally,
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.Nm
prints a warning message when it encounters a duplicate netid.
This flag turns on 'quiet' mode, allowing the warnings to be
suppressed.
Other error messages may still be generated.
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.It Fl g Ar group_file
Specify the location of the group information
file.
The compiled-in default is
.Pa /etc/group .
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.It Fl p Ar passwd_file
Specify the location of the passwd information
file.
The compiled-in default is
.Pa /etc/passwd .
.It Fl h Ar hosts_file
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
Specify the location of the hosts database
file.
The compiled-in default is
.Pa /etc/hosts .
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.It Fl n Ar netid_file
Specify the location of the netid information
file.
The compiled-in default is
.Pa /etc/netid .
Note that no error is generated if the netid database can't be
found.
The netid database is not likely to be present on most systems
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
until
.Tn Secure RPC
support is added to
2000-11-14 11:20:58 +00:00
.Fx .
.It Fl d Ar domain
By default, the
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
.Nm
2002-07-06 19:19:48 +00:00
utility uses the system domainname when generating netid records.
If
1997-11-24 07:31:31 +00:00
the system domainname is not set, the domain must be specified on the
command line with the
.Fl d
flag.
If the domainname is set, the
.Fl d
flag may be used to override it.
