NAME

       yptest - test NIS configuration

SYNOPSYS

       yptest [-q] [-d domain] [-h host] [-m map] [-u user]

DESCRIPTION

       yptest  calls various NIS functions to check if the NIS configuration is correct and works
       as expected.

OPTIONS

       -q     Be quiet, don't print messages

       -d domainname
              Specify a domain other than the default domain as returned by domainname(1).   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).
