yptest - test NIS configuration
yptest [-q] [-d domain] [-h
host] [-m map] [-u user]
yptest calls various NIS functions to check if the NIS
configuration is correct and works as expected.
- -q
- Be quiet, don't print messages
- -d domainname
- Specify a domain other than the default domain as returned by
domainname(8). This option is not supported by all tests.
- -h hostname
- Query ypserv on hostname instead of the currently used one. This
option is not supported by all tests.
- -m map
- Use the map map for the tests instead of passwd.byname. This
option should be used if the default map does not exist.
- -u user
- Use the account user instead of nobody. This option should
be used if the nobody account does not exist in the map used for
testing (passwd.byname or the one given with the -m
option).
yptest is part of the yp-tools package, which was
written by Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@linux-nis.org>.
