NAME
       ypmake - rebuild yellow pages database

SYNOPSIS
       cd /usr/etc/yp ; make [ map ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  file  called  Makefile in /usr/etc/yp is used by make to build the
       yellow pages database.  With no arguments, make creates	dbm  databases
       for  any	 YP  maps  that	 are  out-of-date, and then executes yppush to
       notify slave databases that there has been a change.

       If you supply a map on the command line,	 make  will  update  that  map
       only.   Typing make passwd will create and yppush the password database
       (assuming it is out of date).  Likewise, make hosts and	make  networks
       will  create  and  yppush  the  host  and network files, /etc/hosts and
       /etc/networks.

       There are three special variables used by make: DIR,  which  gives  the
       directory  of  the  source  files; NOPUSH, which when non-null inhibits
       doing a yppush of the new database files; and DOM, used to construct  a
       domain  other than the master's default domain.	The default for DIR is
       /etc, and the default for NOPUSH is the null string.

       Refer to ypfiles(5) and ypserv(8) for an overview of the yellow pages.
