34.Dt YPINIT 8
35.Os FreeBSD
36.Sh NAME
37.Nm ypinit
38.Nd build and install NIS databases
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.Nm
41.Fl m
42.Op Ar domainname
43.Nm
44.Fl s
45.Ar master_server
46.Op Ar domainname
47.Nm
48.Fl u
49.Op Ar domainname
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Nm
53script sets up databases on a Network Information Service (NIS)
54master or slave server.
55.Pp
56On a master server,
57.Nm
58creates the
59.Pa /var/yp/$DOMAINNAME
60directory, the
61.Pa /var/yp/ypservers
62file, and calls
63.Pa /var/yp/Makefile
64to create and populate an initial set of NIS maps.
65The maps are
66created from local source files using the
67.Xr yp_mkdb 8
68command.
69The script will prompt the user for a list of servers
70that support the specified domain; this list is used to populate
71the ypservers map.
72.Pp
73On a slave server,
74.Nm
75creates the
76.Pa /var/yp/$DOMAINNAME ,
77populates it with copies of the NIS maps from the master.
78The maps
79are obtained from the master using the
80.Xr ypxfr 8
81command.
82The
83.Nm
84script obtains the list of maps to transfer in one of two ways: if
85the system is configured as an NIS client and is bound to the master
86server,
87.Nm
88is able to use the
89.Xr ypwhich 1
90command to obtain a list of maps exported by the master server.
91If the system is not configured as a client of the NIS master,
92.Nm
93uses a hardcoded list of maps, some of which may or may not actually
94exist on the master.
95The system administrator can edit the script and
96modify the map list if necessary.
97Otherwise, indivudual maps can
98be transfered manually from the master using
99.Xr ypxfr 8 .
100.Sh OPTIONS
101.Nm Ypinit
102supports the following options:
103.Bl -tag -width indent
104.It Fl m Op Ar domainname
105Set up a master server.
106By default, the script sets up a server for
107the system default domain.
108The user can override this default by specifying
109.Ar domainname
110explicitly.
111Maps are constructed from scratch using local files as templates using
112the
113.Xr yp_mkdb 8
114command.
115.It Fl s Ar master_server Op Ar domainname
116Set up a slave server using
117.Ar master_name
118as the master.
119Maps are copied from
120.Ar master_server
121to the slave using
122.Xr ypxfr 8 .
123By default, the script sets up a server for
124the system default domain.
125The user can override this default by specifying
126.Ar domainname
127explicitly.
128.It Fl u Op Ar domainname
129Update the ypservers map on the master server.
130When a new slave
131server is added to a domain, its hostname must be added to the
132ypservers map so that
133.Xr yppush 8
134can propagate updates on the master to all of the slaves.
