NAME
       ypupdated, rpc.ypupdated - server for changing NIS information

SYNOPSIS
   Remarks
       The  Network  Information  Service  (NIS)  was formerly known as Yellow
       Pages (yp).  Although the name has changed, the	functionality  of  the
       service remains the same.

DESCRIPTION
       is a daemon that updates information in the databases.  It is activated
       at system startup when the variable is set to 1 in file on the NIS mas‐
       ter  server.  consults the file in the directory to determine which NIS
       maps should be updated and how to change them.

       By default, the daemon requires the most secure method  of  authentica‐
       tion  available	to  it, either DES (secure) or UNIX (without augmented
       security).

   Options
       supports the following options:

	      Accept RPC calls with the insecure AUTH_UNIX credentials.
		     This allows programmatic updating of the NIS maps in  all
		     networks.

	      Accept  only  calls authenticated using the secure RPC mechanism
	      (AUTH_DES
		     authentication).  This disables programmatic updating  of
		     the NIS maps unless the network supports these calls.

AUTHOR
