.Dd September 3, 2015 .Dt YPSET 8 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm ypset .Nd tell .Xr ypbind 8 which NIS server process to use .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl h Ar host .Op Fl d Ar domain .Ar server .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm utility tells the .Xr ypbind 8 process on the current machine which NIS server process to communicate with. If .Ar 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 .Xr ypbind 8 tests the binding and takes appropriate action.

p The .Nm 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.

p The options are as follows: l -tag -width indent t Fl d Ar domain Use the NIS domain .Ar domain instead of the default domain as returned by .Xr domainname 1 . t Fl h Ar host Set the NIS binding on .Ar host instead of the local machine. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr domainname 1 , .Xr ypcat 1 , .Xr ypmatch 1 , .Xr yp 8 , .Xr ypbind 8 .Sh AUTHORS .An Theo De Raadt
