DESCRIPTION¶
makedbm takes the inputfile and converts it to a ypserv database file. In
the moment, GDBM is used as database. Each line of the input file is converted
to a single record. All characters up to the first TAB or SPACE are the key,
and the rest of the line is the data.
makedbm does not treat `#' as a
special character.
OPTIONS¶
- -a
- Special support for mail aliases. We couldn't use sendmail
for it, since sendmail uses db, but ypserv gdbm as database format.
- -b
- Insert the YP_INTERDOMAIN into the output. This key
causes ypserv(8) to use DNS for host name and address
lookups for hosts not found in the maps.
- -c
- send a YPPROC_CLEAR to the local ypserv(8).
This causes ypserv to invalidate all cached entries.
- -l
- Convert the keys of the given map to lower case.
- -i YP_INPUT_NAME
- Create a special entry with the key
YP_INPUT_NAME.
- -m YP_MASTER_NAME
- Create a special entry with the key YP_MASTER_NAME.
If no master host name is specified, YP_MASTER_NAME will be set to
the local host name.
- -o YP_OUTPUT_NAME
- Create a special entry with the key
YP_OUTPUT_NAME.
- -r
- Handle `#' as comment sign and remove the comment.
- -s
- Secure map. Accept connections from secure NIS
networks only (reserved ports).
- -u dbname
- Dump a ypserv database file. Prints out the file in text
format, one entry per line, with a single space separating keys from
values.
- --no-limit-check
- Don't check for NIS key and data limit.
