YPMAKE(8,C) AIX Commands Reference YPMAKE(8,C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ypmake PURPOSE Rebuilds NIS data base. SYNTAX +-------+ /etc/ypmake ---| |---| +- map -+ DESCRIPTION The file called makefile in /etc/yp is used by make to build the NIS data base. With no arguments, make dbm data bases for any NIS maps that are out of date, and then executes the yppush command to notify slave data bases that there has been a change. If you supply a map on the command line, make updates the map only. Entering "make passwd" creates and yppush the password data base (assuming it is out of date). Likewise, make hosts and make networks create and yppush the host and network files, /etc/hosts and /etc/networks. There are three special variables used by make: DIR, which gives the directory of the source files; NOPUSH, which when non-null inhibits doing a yppush of the new data base files; and DOM, used to construct a domain other than the master's default domain. The default for DIR is /etc, and the default for NOPUSH is the null string. RELATED INFORMATION See the following commands: "make," "makedbm" and "ypserv, ypbind."
