MKNETID(8)		       Reference Manual			    MKNETID(8)

NAME
       mknetid - generate data for netid map

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib64/yp/mknetid  [ -q ] [ -h hosts ] [ -p passwd ] [ -g group ] [
       -d domain ] [ -n netid ]

       /usr/lib64/yp/mknetid --version

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
       -q     This  flag  turns on 'quiet' mode, don't print a warning message
	      when finding an duplicate netid entry.

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

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

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

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

       -d domain
	      The mknetid command uses the system domainname by default. If it
	      is  not  set  or	you  whish to override it, you must use the -d
	      parameter.

       --version
	      Prints the version number
