NAME¶
yp.conf - NIS binding configuration file
DESCRIPTION¶
The file /etc/yp.conf is read from ypbind(8) at startup or when receiving signal SIGHUP. The entries are used for the initial binding. Valid entries are
domain nisdomain server hostname
Use server hostname for the domain
nisdomain. You could have more then one entry of this type for a single
domain.
domain nisdomain broadcast
Use broadcast on the local net for domain
nisdomain.
domain nisdomain slp
Query the local running SLP server for hosts running
ypserv and distributing nisdomain. This option is only available, if
ypbind was compiled with SLP support.
ypserver hostname
Use server hostname for the local domain.
broadcast
If no other server is given or all of them are not
reachable, try a broadcast call for the default domain to find a server.
If for a specific domain the broadcast option and fixed server are given, ypbind-mt tries at first the given servers before falling back to broadcasting for a running server.
