     ypupdated - server	for changing NIS information

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /usr/etc/rpc.ypupdated

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     ypupdated is a daemon that	updates	information in the network information
     service (NIS), normally started up	by inetd(1M).  ypupdated consults the
     file updaters(4) in the directory /var/yp to determine which NIS maps
     should be updated and how to change them.

     By	default, the daemon requires the most secure method of authentication
     available to it, which currently is AUTH_UNIX.  The DES authentication
     method is not implemented at the time.
