NAME
       inityp2l - create NIS (YP) to LDAP configuration files

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/inityp2l [-m mapping_file_name]
	   [-c config_file_name]

DESCRIPTION
       The  inityp2l  utility  assists with creation of the NISLDAPmapping and
       ypserv files. See NISLDAPmapping(4) andypserv(4). inityp2l examines the
       NIS  maps on a system. and through a dialogue with the user, determines
       which NIS to (and from) LDAP mappings are  required.  A	NISLDAPmapping
       file  is then created based on this information. The utility asks users
       about their LDAP server configuration and  a  ypserv  file  is  created
       based on this information.

       The  inityp2l  utility  handles	mappings for standard NIS maps and the
       auto.* series of maps. If requested, it creates	default	 mappings  for
       custom  maps,  with  each map entry represented as a single DIT string.
       inityp2l does not handle full custom mapping, but  if  requested,  ini‐
       typ2l  will  insert comments into the NISLDAPmapping file that indicate
       where these should be added.

       To write to the NISLDAPmapping or ypserv files is  potentially  danger‐
       ous. inityp2l warns the user and asks for confirmation before:

	   1.	  it overwrites either file

	   2.	  it  writes  to  the default NISLDAPmapping file location, if
		  this file  did  not  previously  exist.  This	 is  important
		  because  the existence of a file in this location causes NIS
		  components to	 work  NIS  to	LDAP  (N2L)   mode  when  next
		  restarted, rather than to traditional NIS mode.

       inityp2l	 assists  with	rapid  creation	 of a simple N2L configuration
       files. It is not a general purpose  tool	 for  the	management  of
       these  files.  An advanced user who would like to maintain the files or
       use custom mappings should examine the output of inityp2l and customize
       it by using a standard text editor.

OPTIONS
       inityp2l supports the following options:

       -c    Specify  the name of the generated ypserv file. The default loca‐
	     tion is  described in .

       -m    Specify the  name	of  the	 generated  NISLDAPmapping  file.  The
	     default is described in .

FILES
       /var/yp			 The  directory	 to  be searched for candidate
				 domains    (/var/yp/*)	   and	  NIS	  maps
				 (/var/yp/*/*)

       /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping	 The   default	 location  for	the  generated
				 NISLDAPmapping file

       /etc/default/ypserv	 The default location for the generated ypserv
