DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     makedbm  is the utility in YP that creates the database file
containing
     the YP map.  The database format is a slightly modified version of ndbm.

     The options are as follows:

     -u      Dump a database to standard output.

     -U      Same as -u but also try db(3) hash format.

     -b       Interdomain.   Include an entry in the database informing a YP
             server to use DNS to get information  about  unknown
hosts.  This
             option  will  only  have  effect  on  the  two  maps
hosts.byname and
             hosts.byaddr.

     -l      Lowercase.  Convert all keys to  lower  case  before
adding them to
             the YP database.

     -s       Secure  map.   Include an entry in the database informing ypxfr(8)
             and ypserv(8) that the YP map is going to be handled
as secure.

     -i yp_input_file
             Include  an  entry  in  the  map with the key YP_INPUT_FILE and the
             argument as value.

     -o yp_output_file
             Include an entry in the map  with  the  key  YP_OUTPUT_FILE and the
             argument as value.

     -d yp_domain_name
             Include  an  entry  in  the  map with the key YP_DOMAIN_NAME and the
             argument as value.

     -m yp_master_name
             Include an entry in the map  with  the  key  YP_MASTER_NAME and the
             argument as value.
