System Administration Commands ypset(1M)
NAME
ypset - point ypbind at a particular server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/ypset [-d ypdomain] [-h host] server
DESCRIPTION
In order to run ypset, ypbind must be initiated with the
-ypset or -ypsetme options. See ypbind(1M). ypset tells
ypbind to get NIS services for the specified ypdomain from
the ypserv process running on server. If server is down, or
is not running ypserv, this might not be discovered until an
NIS client process tries to obtain a binding for the domain.
At this point, the binding set by ypset is tested by ypbind.
If the binding is invalid, ypbind attempts to rebind for the
same domain.
ypset is useful for binding a client node that is not on a
broadcast net, or is on a broadcast net that is not running
an NIS server host. It is also useful for debugging NIS
client applications, for instance, where an NIS map exists
only at a single NIS server host.
Where several hosts on the local net are supplying NIS ser-
vices, ypbind can rebind to another host, even while you
attempt to find out if the ypset operation succeeded. For
example, if you enter the ypset command below, you might get
the subsequent response from ypwhich:
example% ypset host1
example% ypwhich
host2
The sequence shown above is a function of the NIS
subsystem's attempt to load-balance among the available NIS
servers, and occurs when host1 does not respond to ypbind
because it is not running ypserv (or is overloaded), and
host2, running ypserv, obtains the binding.
server indicates which NIS server to bind to, and must be
specified as a name or an IP address. This works only if the
node has a current valid binding for the domain in question
and ypbind has been set to allow use of ypset. In most
cases, server should be specified as an IP address.
ypset tries to bind over a connectionless transport. The
NIS library call, yp_all(), uses connection-oriented tran-
sport and derives the NIS server's address based on the
connectionless address supplied by ypset.
