.Dd April 5, 1993 .Dt YP 4 .Os BSD 4.2 .Sh NAME .Nm yp .Nd description of the YP system .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm yp .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm YP subsystem allows network management of passwd and group file entries through the functions getpwent(3) and getgrent(3). The .Nm YP subsystem is started automatically in .Nm /etc/rc.netstart if the directory .Nm /var/yp exists. .Sh BUGS Only .Nm YP client functionality exists -- the server code has not yet been written. Brave folk can contact the author. .Nm /etc/passwd and .Nm /etc/group only supports "+" entries. Many more manual pages should be written, especially ypclnt(3). For the time being, seek out a local Sun machine and read the manuals for there. Neither Sun nor this author have found a clean way to handle the problems that occur when ypbind cannot find its server upon bootup. .Sh HISTORY The .Nm YP subsystem was written from the ground up by Theo de Raadt to be compatible to Sun's implimentation. No Sun code was referenced.
