NAME
ypxfr
—
get a YP map from YP server
SYNOPSIS
ypxfr |
[-cf ] [-C
tid prog ipadd port] [-d
domain] [-h
host] [-s
domain] mapname |
DESCRIPTION
ypxfr
is the utility in YP that transfers
maps to the local host.
Since the YP master transfers a map when it has changed, an YP slave should check for missed maps regularly. This can be done via an entry in crontab(5). The scripts ypxfr_1perhour, ypxfr_2perday and ypxfr_1perday could be used for that.
The options are as follows:
-C
tid prog ipadd port- This option is only used by ypserv. This is to open communication with a yppush on another host.
-c
- Don't send a "Clear current map" to local ypserv process. Useful if ypserv isn't running localy to avoid timeout message.
-d
domain- Don't use default domain, use the specified domain.
-f
- Force map transfer, even if version of master is older than local copy.
-h
host- Get map from host instead of the maps master host.
-s
domain- Specify a source domain other than the target domain.
