NAME
ypupdated - server for changing YP information
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypupdated [ -is ]
DESCRIPTION
ypupdated is a daemon that updates information in the YP name service, normally started up by inetd(1M). ypupdated consults the file updaters(4) in the directory /var/yp to determine which YP maps should be updated and how to change them. By default, the daemon requires the most secure method of authentication available to it, either DES (secure) or UNIX (insecure). The following options are available:
-i Accept RPC calls with the insecure AUTH_UNIX credentials. This allows programmatic updating of YP maps in all networks.
-s Only accept calls authenticated using the secure RPC mechanism (AUTH_DES authentication). This disables programmatic updating of YP maps unless the network supports these calls.
