MKNETID(8)		OpenBSD System Manager's Manual		    MKNETID(8)

NAME
     mknetid - generate a YP map of group and domain memberships

SYNOPSIS
     mknetid [-q] [-d domain] [-g groupfile] [-h hostfile] [-m netidfile]
	     [-P master.passwdfile] [-p passwdfile]

DESCRIPTION
     The mknetid utility combines information from the passwd(5), group(5),
     hosts(5), and netid(5) files, printing it in netid(5) format to the
     standard output.  If the passwd(5) file is not available, the
     master.passwd(5) file is used instead.  The netid(5) file is optional and
     does not need to exist.

     The most common application is to pass the output to makedbm(8) in order
     to create a netid.byname map for the yp(8) subsystem.

     The options are as follows:

     -d domain
	     Use domain instead of the default domainname(1).

     -g groupfile
	     Use groupfile instead of /etc/group.

     -h hostfile
	     Use hostfile instead of /etc/hosts.

     -m netidfile
	     Use netidfile instead of /etc/netid.

     -P master.passwdfile
	     Use master.passwdfile instead of /etc/master.passwd.

     -p passwdfile
	     Use passwdfile instead of /etc/passwd.

     -q	     Keep quiet about multiple occurrences of a user ID.  Ignore all
	     but the first.

FILES
     /etc/passwd
     /etc/master.passwd
     /etc/group
     /etc/hosts
     /etc/netid
