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 ypset

.Op Fl h Ar host
|
|
.Op Fl d Ar domain
|

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