YP.CONF(5)                         ypbind-mt                        YP.CONF(5)

NAME
       yp.conf - NIS binding configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       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 hostname
           Use 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.

       domain nisdomain slp
           Query the local running SLP server for hosts running ypserv and
           distributing nisdomain. This option is only available, if ypbind
           was compiled with SLP support.

       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.

       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.
