DESCRIPTION

       mknetid  generates  the  netid.byname  NIS map from the contents of the group(5), passwd(5), hosts(5) and
       netid files. It checks for multiple entrys of netids and warn for them or filters them out.  It  is  only
       called by /var/yp/Makefile when rebuilding the NIS map.

OPTIONS

              entry.

       -h hosts
              The -h flag can be used to specify the use of another hosts file than the default /etc/hosts.
