The
ypwhich
utility tells which
NIS
server supplies
NIS
services to a client, or which is the master for a map.
If invoked without arguments, it gives the
NIS
server for the local machine.
If
host
is specified, that machine is queried to find out
which
NIS
server it is using.
The options are as follows:
|
| -d domain
|
| |
Specify a domain other than the default domain.
|
| -t
|
| |
Inhibit translation of map nicknames
to their corresponding map names.
|
| -m [mname]
|
| |
Find the master
NIS
server for the named map.
No
host
may be specified with the
-m
option.
The
mname
argument
can be a map name or nickname.
If
mname
is omitted,
ypwhich
will produce a list of available maps.
|
| -x
|
| |
Display the map nickname table.
