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).
