ypsetup(8yp)ypsetup(8yp)Nameypsetup - set up the yellow pages (YP) environment
Syntax
/usr/etc/ypsetup
Description
A local area network must be set up on your system before you can set
up YP. You must know your system's default YP domain name and whether
your system will be a master server, slave server, or client. If your
system is to be the master server for your YP domain, be sure no other
master has been established and be sure the files to be distributed are
in the directory Note that the files to be distributed should be modi‐
fied from the original files by removing the root entry in the file.
If your system is not to be the master server, be sure a master already
exists for your YP domain. Once you know this information, run with
the system in multiuser mode and answer its questions.
Once YP is installed on a machine, it cannot be used until the file is
modified to contain YP entries on the desired database lines. The com‐
mand reminds a user to run or edit the file manually.
