32.Dt MKNETID 8
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm mknetid
36.Nd "generate netid map data"
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Nm
39.Op Fl q
40.Op Fl g Ar group_file
41.Op Fl p Ar passwd_file
42.Op Fl h Ar hosts_file
43.Op Fl n Ar netid_file
44.Op Fl d Ar domain
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Nm
48utility processes the contents of the
49.Xr group 5 ,
50.Xr passwd 5 ,
51.Xr hosts 5
52and
53.Xr netid 5
54files into the format used to generate the
55.Pa netid.byname
56.Tn NIS
57map.
58This map is used to hold credential information for both users
59and hosts in an operating system independent format.
60.Pp
61The
62.Nm
63utility checks for duplicate occurrences of netids and filters
64them out.
65.Pp
66The
67.Nm
68utility prints its results on the standard output.
69It is usually called
70only by
71.Pa /var/yp/Makefile
72when rebuilding the
73.Tn NIS
74maps.
75.Sh OPTIONS
76The
77.Nm
78utility supports the following options:
79.Bl -tag -width indent
80.It Fl q
81Normally,
82.Nm
83prints a warning message when it encounters a duplicate netid.
84This flag turns on 'quiet' mode, allowing the warnings to be
85suppressed.
86Other error messages may still be generated.
87.It Fl g Ar group_file
88Specify the location of the group information
89file.
90The compiled-in default is
91.Pa /etc/group .
92.It Fl p Ar passwd_file
93Specify the location of the passwd information
94file.
95The compiled-in default is
96.Pa /etc/passwd .
97.It Fl h Ar hosts_file
98Specify the location of the hosts database
99file.
100The compiled-in default is
101.Pa /etc/hosts .
102.It Fl n Ar netid_file
103Specify the location of the netid information
104file.
105The compiled-in default is
106.Pa /etc/netid .
107Note that no error is generated if the netid database cannot be
108found.
109The netid database is not likely to be present on most systems
110until
111.Tn Secure RPC
112support is added to
113.Fx .
114.It Fl d Ar domain
115By default, the
116.Nm
117utility uses the system domainname when generating netid records.
118If
119the system domainname is not set, the domain must be specified on the
120command line with the
121.Fl d
122flag.
123If the domainname is set, the
124.Fl d
125flag may be used to override it.
