makedbm
takes the inputfile and converts it to a ypserv database file. In the
moment, GDBM is used as database. Each line of the input file is converted
to a single record. All characters up to the first TAB or SPACE are the key,
and the rest of the line is the data.
makedbm
does not treat `#' as a special character.
OPTIONS
-a
Special support for mail aliases. We couldn't use sendmail for it, since
sendmail uses db, but ypserv gdbm as database format.
-b
Insert the
YP_INTERDOMAIN
into the output. This key causes
ypserv(8)
to use
DNS
for host name and address lookups for hosts not found in the maps.
-c
send a
YPPROC_CLEAR
to the local
ypserv(8).
This causes ypserv to invalidate all cached entries.
-l
Convert the keys of the given map to lower case.
-i YP_INPUT_NAME
Create a special entry with the key
YP_INPUT_NAME.
-m YP_MASTER_NAME
Create a special entry with the key
YP_MASTER_NAME.
If no master host name is specified,
YP_MASTER_NAME
will be set to the local host name.
-o YP_OUTPUT_NAME
Create a special entry with the key
YP_OUTPUT_NAME.
-r
Handle `#' as comment sign and remove the comment.
-s
Secure map. Accept connections from secure
NIS
networks only (reserved ports).
-u dbname
Dump a ypserv database file. Prints out the file in text format, one entry
per line, with a single space separating keys from values.
