ypset —
tell ypbind(8) which YP server process to use
ypset |
[-d domain]
[-h host]
server |
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.
