This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long. Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.

|

.Nm mknetid
|
|
.Op Fl q
|
|
.Op Fl g Ar group_file
|
|
.Op Fl p Ar passwd_file
|
|
.Op Fl h Ar hosts_file
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Mknetid
|
|
processes the contents of the
|
|
.Xr group 5 ,
|
|
.Xr passwd 5 ,
|
|
.Xr hosts 5 and
|
|
.Xr netid 5
|
|
files into the format used to generate the
|
|
.Pa netid.byname
|
|
NIS map. This map is used to hold credential information for both users
|
|
and hosts in a operating system independent format.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm mknetid
|
|
command checks for duplicate occurances of netids and filters
|
|
them out.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm mknetid
|
|
command prints its results on the standard output. It is usually called
|
|
only by
|
|
.Nm /var/yp/Makefile
|
|
when rebuilding the NIS maps.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm mknetid
|
|
command supports the following options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Normally,
|
|
.Nm mknetid
|
|
prints a warning message when it encounters a duplicate netid.
|
|
This flag turns on 'quiet' mode, allowing the warnings to be
|
|
surpressed. Other error messages may still be generated.
|
|
.It Fl g Ar group-file
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl g
|
|
flag can be used to specify the location of the group information
|
|
file. The compiled-in default is
|
|
.Pa /etc/group .
|
|
.It Fl p Ar passwd-file
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
flag can be used to specify the location of the passwd information
|
|
file. The compiled-in default is
|
|
.Pa /etc/passwd .
|
|
.It Fl h Ar group-file
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
flag can be used to specify the location of the hosts database
|
|
file. The compiled-in default is
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts .
|
|
.It Fl n Ar netid-file
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
flag can be used to 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
|
|
until Secure RPC support is added to FreeBSD.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar domain
|
|
By default, the
|
|
.Nm mknetid
|
|
command uses the system domainname when generating netid records. If
|
|
the system domainnameis 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.
|
|
.El
