+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ypset
+.Nd tell
+.Xr ypbind 8
+which YP server process to use
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm ypset
+.Op Fl h Ar host
+.Op Fl d Ar domain
+.Ar server
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Ypset
+tells the
+.Xr ypbind 8
+process on the current machine which YP server process to communicate with.
+If
+.Ar server
+is down or is not running a YP server process, it is not discovered until
+a YP client process attempts to access a YP map, at which time
+.Xr ypbind 8
+tests the binding and takes appropriate action.
+.Pp
+.Nm Ypset
+is most useful for binding a YP client that is not on the same broadcast
+network as the closest YP server, but can also be used for debugging
+a local network's YP configuration, testing specific YP client
+programs, or binding to a specific server when there are many servers on
+the local network supplying YP maps.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl h Ar host
+Set the YP binding on
+.Ar host
+instead of the local machine.
+.It Fl d Ar domain
+Use the YP domain
+.Ar domain
+instead of the default domain as returned by
+.Xr domainname 1 .
