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
-aSpecial 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.
