MAKEDBM(8)		     NIS Reference Manual		    MAKEDBM(8)

NAME
       makedbm - create or dump a ypserv database file

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/yp/makedbm [-a | -r] [-b] [-c] [-s] [-l] [-i YP_INPUT_NAME]
			   [-o YP_OUTPUT_NAME] [-m YP_MASTER_NAME] inputfile
			   dbname

       /usr/lib/yp/makedbm -u dbname

       /usr/lib/yp/makedbm -c

       /usr/lib/yp/makedbm --version

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.
