rpc.nisd_resolv(1M)	System Administration Commands	   rpc.nisd_resolv(1M)

NAME
       rpc.nisd_resolv, nisd_resolv - NIS+ service daemon

SYNOPSIS
       rpc.nisd_resolv [-v | -V]  [ -F [-C fd]] [-t xx] [-p yy]

DESCRIPTION
       rpc.nisd_resolv	is  an auxiliary process which provides DNS forwarding
       service for NIS hosts requests to both ypserv  and  rpc.nisd  that  are
       running	in  the	 NIS  compatibility  mode.  It is generally started by
       invoking rpc.nisd(1M) with the -B option	 or  ypserv(1M)	 with  the  -d
       option.	Although  it  is  not recommended, rpc.nisd_resolv can also be
       started independently with the following options.

       This command requires that the /etc/resolv.conf file be setup for  com‐
       munication  with	 a DNS nameserver. The nslookup utility can be used to
       verify communication with a  DNS	 nameserver.  See  resolv.conf(4)  and
       nslookup(1M).

OPTIONS
       -F	Run in foreground.

       -C fd	Use fd for service xprt (from nisd).

       -v	Verbose. Send output to the syslog daemon.

       -V	Verbose. Send output to stdout.

       -t xx	Use transport xx.

       -p yy	Use transient program#	yy.

       the    current	Solaris	  release.   For   more	  information,	 visit
