NETID(5) BSD File Formats Manual NETID(5)NAMEnetid — YP network credential file
DESCRIPTION
Files in netid format are rare. One lives in the YP map netid.byname.
The format is rather simple. Each row consists of two items: a key and a
value. When created by mknetid(8) there are three types of records.
The first type is information about which GIDs a UID has:
unix.⟨uid⟩@⟨yp-domain⟩ ⟨uid⟩:⟨gid⟩,⟨gid⟩
The second type contains information about hosts:
unix.⟨hostname⟩@⟨yp-domain⟩ 0:⟨hostname⟩
The third type refers to records from a netid file other than the two
types above.
FILES

unix.jodie@kaka 0:jodie
