rpc.ypupdated(1M)	System Administration Commands	     rpc.ypupdated(1M)

NAME
       rpc.ypupdated, ypupdated - server for changing NIS information

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/rpc.ypupdated [-is]

DESCRIPTION
       ypupdated  is a daemon that updates information in the Network Informa‐
       tion Service (NIS). ypupdated consults the   updaters(4)	 file  in  the
       /var/yp directory to determine which NIS maps should be updated and how
       to change them.

       By default, the daemon requires the most secure method  of  authentica‐
       tion available to it, either DES (secure) or UNIX (insecure).

       On  start up, ypupdated checks for the existence of a NIS to LDAP (N2L)
       configuration file, /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping. If  the  file  is  present,
       ypupdated  generates  an	 informational message and exits. ypupdated is
       not supported in N2L mode.

OPTIONS
       -i    Accept RPC calls with the insecure	 AUTH_UNIX  credentials.  This
	     allows programmatic updating of the NIS maps in all networks.

       -s    Accept  only  calls authenticated using the secure	 RPC mechanism
	     (AUTH_DES authentication). This disables programmatic updating of
	     the NIS maps unless the network supports these calls.

FILES
       /var/yp/updaters		 Configuration file for rpc.updated command.

       /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping	 Configuration file for N2L

NOTES
       The  Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow
       Pages (YP).  The functionality of the two services  remains  the	 same.
       Only the name has changed. The name Yellow Pages is a registered trade‐
       mark in the United Kingdom of British Telecommunications	 PLC,  and  it
       must not be used without permission.
