YPMAKE(8) UNIX Programmer's Manual YPMAKE(8) NAME ypmake - rebuild yellow pages database SYNOPSIS cd /etc/yp ; make [ _m_a_p ] DESCRIPTION The file called _M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e in /_e_t_c/_y_p is used by _m_a_k_e to build the yellow pages database. With no arguments, _m_a_k_e creates _d_b_m databases for any YP maps that are out-of-date, and then executes _y_p_p_u_s_h to notify slave databases that there has been a change. If you supply a _m_a_p on the command line, _m_a_k_e will update that map only. Typing _m_a_k_e _p_a_s_s_w_d will create and _y_p_p_u_s_h the password database (assuming it is out of date). Like- wise, _m_a_k_e _h_o_s_t_s and _m_a_k_e _n_e_t_w_o_r_k_s will create and _y_p_p_u_s_h the host and network files, /_e_t_c/_h_o_s_t_s and /_e_t_c/_n_e_t_w_o_r_k_s. There are three special variables used by _m_a_k_e: DIR, which gives the directory of the source files; NOPUSH, which when non-null inhibits doing a _y_p_p_u_s_h of the new database files; and DOM, used to construct a domain other than the master's default domain. The default for DIR is /_e_t_c, and the default for NOPUSH is the null string. Refer to ypfiles(5) and ypserv(8) for an overview of the yellow pages.
