ypset tells the
ypbind(8) process on the current
machine which YP server process to communicate with. If
server is down or is not running a YP server
process, it is not discovered until a YP client process attempts to access a
YP map, at which time
ypbind(8)
tests the binding and takes appropriate action.
ypset is most useful for binding a YP client
that is not on the same broadcast network as the closest YP server, but can
also be used for debugging a local network's YP configuration, testing
specific YP client programs, or binding to a specific server when there are
many servers on the local network supplying YP maps.
The options are as follows:
-
-
-d
domain- Use the YP domain domain instead of the
default domain as returned by
domainname(1).
-
-
-h
host- Set the YP binding on host instead of the
local machine.
