| 101.It Fl b 102This flag causes 103.Nm yp_mkdb 104to add a special entry to the database with a key of 105.Em YP_INTERDOMAIN 106and an empty data field. If this key is present in a map, it alters the 107behavior of the 'match' procedure in 108.Xr ypserv 8 109slightly. If a match query fails (because the server couldn't find 110a record that matched the supplied key), and the 111.Em YP_INTERDOMAIN 112key exists within the queried may, 113.Xr ypserv 8 114will try to match the entry again using a DNS lookup. Note that this 115special behavior only applies to the 116.Em hosts 117maps. Using the 118.Fl b 119flag for other maps has no effect. 120.Pp 121.It Fl s 122This flag is used to add a special entry to the database with a key of 123.Em YP_SECURE 124and an empty data field. If this key is present in a map, 125.Xr ypserv 8 126will deny access to the map to any client that is not using a 127reserved port for its query. This is used mainly for the 128.Em master.passwd 129maps, which should be restricted to privileged access only. 130.Pp |
