.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm YP
subsystem allows network management of passwd, group, and
hosts file entries through the functions
.Xr getpwent 3 ,
.Xr getgrent 3
and
.Xr gethostbyname 3 .
A number of other databases can be network-managed as well,
and have their respective functions.
.Nm YP
also provides hooks for numerous other client programs
such as
.Xr amd 8
and
.Xr bootparamd 8
to access distributed and shareable versions
of their maps through
.Nm YP .
.Pp
.Nm ypinit
is used to initialize YP as a server or master. This creates
various files in
.Pa /var/yp .
If setup as a client, the required databases are automatically copied
from the specified server.
.Pp
The
.Nm YP
client subsystem is started automatically in
.Pa /etc/rc
if the directory
.Pa /var/yp/binding
exists.
The client subsystem can be turned on and off by creating or
deleting that directory.
.Xr ypbind 8
will create that directory if run by hand.
.Pp
The
.Nm YP
server subsystem is started automatically in
.Pa /etc/rc
if the directory
.Pa /var/yp/DOMAINNAME
exists.
This directory is automatically created by
.Xr ypinit 8
(which initializes the machine as a
.Nm YP
server.)
.Pp
If
.Nm ypbind
cannot find a server, the system behaves the same way as Sun's code
does: it hangs.
.Sh SEE ALSO

.Sh HISTORY
This free
.Nm YP
subsystem is thought to be compatible with Sun's implementation.
The name
.Nm YP
stands for Yellow Pee.
.Pp
The ypbind, library components, and userland programs were implemented
by Theo de Raadt <deraadt@theos.com>.
The server component was implemented by Mats O Jansson <moj@stacken.kth.se>.
