SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm [ -a | -r ] [ -b ] [ -c ] [ -s ] [ -l
] [ -i YP_INPUT_NAME ] [ -o YP_OUTPUT_NAME ] [ -m YP_MAS
TER_NAME ] inputfile dbname
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm -u dbname
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm -c

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 net
works 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.
Don't check for NIS key and data limit.
