NAME
yp.conf - NIS binding configuration fileDESCRIPTION
The file /etc/yp.conf is read from ypbind(8) at startup or when receiving signal SIGHUP. The entries are used for the initial binding. Valid entries are domain nisdomain server hostnameUse server hostname for the domain
nisdomain. You could have more then one entry of this type for a single
domain.
domain nisdomain broadcast
Use broadcast on the local net for domain
nisdomain.
ypserver hostname
Use server hostname for the local
domain.
broadcast
If no other server is given or all of them are
not reachable, try a broadcast call for the default domain to find a
server.
hostname can either be an IP address or the system's DNS name. If it is
the system's DNS name, this name needs to be resolveable without the help of
NIS, before NIS is used.
If for a specific domain the broadcast option and fixed server are given,
ypbind-mt tries at first the given servers before falling back to
broadcasting for a running server.
