.TH YPMAKE 8 "Feb 25, 2017"
.SH NAME
ypmake \- rebuild NIS database
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBcd\fR \fB/var/yp\fR ; \fBmake\fR [\fImap\fR]
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The file called \fBMakefile\fR in \fB/var/yp\fR is used by \fBmake\fR(1S) to
build the  Network Information Service (\fBNIS\fR) database. With no arguments,
\fBmake\fR creates \fBdbm\fR databases for any \fBNIS\fR maps that are
out-of-date, and then executes \fByppush\fR(8) to notify slave databases that
there has been a change.
.sp
.LP
If you supply a \fImap\fR on the command line, \fBmake\fR will update that map
only. Typing \fBmake passwd\fR will create and \fByppush\fR the password
database (assuming it is out of date). Likewise, \fBmake ipnodes\fR and \fBmake
networks\fR will create and \fByppush\fR the \fBipnodes\fR and \fBnetwork\fR
files, \fB$(INETDIR)/ipnodes\fR and \fB$(DIR)/networks\fR.
.sp
.LP
There are four special variables used by \fBmake\fR: \fBDIR\fR, which gives the
directory of the source files; \fBNOPUSH\fR, which when non-null inhibits doing
a \fByppush\fR of the new database files; \fBINETDIR\fR, which gives the
directory of the \fBipnodes\fR source file; and \fBDOM\fR, which is used to
construct a domain other than the master's default domain. The default for
\fBDIR\fR is \fB/etc\fR, and the default for \fBINETDIR\fR is \fB/etc/inet\fR.
The default for \fBNOPUSH\fR is the null string.
.sp
.LP
Refer to \fBypfiles\fR(5) and \fBypserv\fR(8) for an overview of the
\fBNIS\fR service.
.sp
.LP
If a \fBNIS\fR to LDAP (N2L) configuration file, \fB/var/yp/NISLDAPmapping\fR,
is present, the \fBNIS\fR server components run in N2L mode. In N2L mode, the
server components use a new set of map files with an LDAP-prefix, based on the
LDAP DIT. In N2L mode, authoritative NIS information is obtained from the DIT.
The NIS source files and \fBypmake\fR have no role, and they should not be
used. If \fBypmake\fR is accidentally run, then the server components will
detect this, and will log a warning message. For additional information, see
\fBypfiles\fR(5).

The Network Information Service (\fBNIS\fR) was formerly known as Sun Yellow
Pages (\fBYP\fR).  The functionality of the two remains the same. Only the name
has changed. The name Yellow Pages is a registered trademark in the United
