NAME
netgroup_mkdb —
generate the netgroup
databases
SYNOPSIS
netgroup_mkdb |
[-o database]
[file] |
DESCRIPTION
netgroup_mkdb creates Berkeley databases
for the specified file. If no file is specified,
/etc/netgroup is used. These databases are then
installed into /etc/netgroup.db. The file must be in
the correct format (see
netgroup(5)).
The options are as follows:
-odatabase- Put the output databases in the named file.
The databases are used by the C library netgroup routines (see getnetgrent(3)).
netgroup_mkdb exits zero on success,
non-zero on failure.
FILES
- /etc/netgroup.db
- current netgroup database
- /etc/netgroup.db.tmp
- a temporary file
- /etc/netgroup
- current netgroup file

BUGS
Because netgroup_mkdb guarantees not to
install a partial destination file it must build a temporary file in the
same file system and if successful use
rename(2) to install over the destination file.
If netgroup_mkdb fails it will leave the
previous version of the destination file intact.
