NAME¶
makedbm - create or dump a ypserv database file
SYNOPSIS¶
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm [-a | -r] [-b] [-c] [-s] [-l] [-i YP_INPUT_NAME] [-o YP_OUTPUT_NAME] [-m YP_MASTER_NAME] inputfile dbname
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm -u dbname
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm -c
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm --version
DESCRIPTION¶
makedbm takes the inputfile and converts it to a ypserv database file. In the moment, GDBM is used as database. Each line of the input file is converted to a single record. All characters up to the first TAB or SPACE are the key, and the rest of the line is the data. makedbm does not treat `#´ as a special character.
OPTIONS¶
-a
Special support for mail aliases. We couldn´t use
sendmail for it, since sendmail uses db, but ypserv gdbm as database
format.
-b
Insert the YP_INTERDOMAIN into the output. This
key causes ypserv(8) to use DNS for host name and address
lookups for hosts not found in the maps.
-c
send a YPPROC_CLEAR to the local ypserv(8).
This causes ypserv to invalidate all cached entries.
-l
Convert the keys of the given map to lower case.
-i YP_INPUT_NAME
Create a special entry with the key
YP_INPUT_NAME.
-m YP_MASTER_NAME
Create a special entry with the key
YP_MASTER_NAME. If no master host name is specified,
YP_MASTER_NAME will be set to the local host name.
-o YP_OUTPUT_NAME
Create a special entry with the key
YP_OUTPUT_NAME.
-r
Handle `#´ as comment sign and remove the
comment.
-s
Secure map. Accept connections from secure NIS
networks only (reserved ports).
-u dbname
Dump a ypserv database file. Prints out the file in text
format, one entry per line, with a single space separating keys from
values.
--no-limit-check
Don´t check for NIS key and data limit.
