YPSET(8) BSD System Manager's Manual YPSET(8)NAMEypset - tell ypbind(8) which YP server process to use
SYNOPSISypset [-d domain] [-h host] server
DESCRIPTION
Ypset tells the ypbind(8) process on the current machine which YP server
process to communicate with. If 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 ypbind(8) tests the binding and takes
appropriate action.
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 de-
bugging 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.
The options are as follows:
-h host
Set the YP binding on host instead of the local machine.
-d domain
Use the YP domain domain instead of the default domain as re-
turned by domainname(1).
