.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
.Nd "force propagation of updated NIS databases"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
.Op Fl d Ar domain
|
|
.Op Fl v
|
|
.Ar mapname
|
|
.Op Ar mapname ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
distributes updated NIS databases (or
|
|
.Pa maps )
|
|
from an NIS master server to NIS slave servers within an NIS
|
|
domain. It is normally only run on the NIS master by
|
|
.Pa /var/yp/Makefile
|
|
whenever any of the NIS maps are updated. Note that
|
|
.Pa /var/yp/Makefile
|
|
does not invoke
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
by default: the
|
|
.Nm NOPUSH=True
|
|
entry in the Makefile must first be commented out
|
|
(the default FreeBSD configuration assumes a small network with only
|
|
a single NIS server; in such a configuration,
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
is not needed).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
determines the names of the slave servers for a domain by searching the
|
|
.Pa ypservers
|
|
map. Once it has a complete list of slave servers, it sends a request
|
|
to each of them to initiate a map transfer, which is done using
|
|
.Xr ypxfr 8 .
|
|
Included within each request is the name of the map to be copied
|
|
and some special information required by
|
|
.Xr ypxfr 8
|
|
to successfully 'callback' to
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
and carry out the transfer. Any status or error messages
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
receives from
|
|
.Xr ypxfr 8
|
|
will be printed to stdout.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The following options are supported by
|
|
.Nm yppush :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
|
.It Fl d Ar domain
|
|
Specify a particular domain. The NIS domain of
|
|
the host system is used by default.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Verbose mode: causes
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
to print debugging messages as it runs.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Pa -compact
|
|
.It Pa /var/yp/[domainname]/ypservers
|
|
The NIS ypservers map containing the names of all servers in
|
|
a particular NIS domain.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The mechanism for transfering NIS maps in NIS version 1 is different
|
|
that that in NIS version 2. This version of
|
|
.Nm yppush
|
|
has support for transfering maps to NIS version 1 systems, but this
|
|
support has not been tested and is not guaranteed to work. Fortunately,
|
|
the majority of systems today use NIS version 2.
