.SH NAME
ypmake \- rebuild yellow pages database
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cd
.B /etc/yp
.B ;
.B make
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX  "ypmake command"  ""  "\fLypmake\fP \(em rebuild yellow pages database"
.IX  "rebuild yellow pages database"  ""  "rebuild yellow pages database \(em \fLypmake\fP"
.IX  "yellow pages"  "rebuild database"  ""  "rebuild database \(em \fLypmake\fP"
There is a
.I Makefile
in
.IR /etc/yp
for building the yellow pages database.
With no arguments,
.I make
creates
.I dbm
databases for everything that is out of date,
and then executes
.IR yppush (8)
to notify slave databases that there has been a change.
.PP
Typing
.I "make passwd"
will create and
.I yppush
just the password database (assuming it is out of date).
Likewise,
.I "make hosts"
and
.I "make networks"
will create and
.I yppush
the host and network files,
.I /etc/hosts
and
.IR /etc/networks .
.PP
There are three special variables:
DIR, which gives the directory of the source files;
NOPUSH, which when non-null inhibits doing a
.I 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
.IR /etc ,
and the default for NOPUSH is
the null string.
