YPSET(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual YPSET(8)
NAME ypset - tell ypbind(8) which NIS server process to use
SYNOPSIS ypset [-h host] [-d domain] server
DESCRIPTION The ypset utility tells the ypbind(8) process on the current machine which NIS server process to communicate with. If server is down or is not running a NIS server process, it is not discovered until a NIS client process attempts to access a NIS map, at which time ypbind(8) tests the binding and takes appropriate action.
The ypset utility is most useful for binding a NIS client that is not on the same broadcast network as the closest NIS server, but can also be used for debugging a local network's NIS configuration, testing specific NIS client programs, or binding to a specific server when there are many servers on the local network supplying NIS maps.
The options are as follows:
-d domain Use the NIS domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
-h host Set the NIS binding on host instead of the local machine.
