18 \fBypupdated\fR is a daemon that updates information in the Network Information
19 Service (NIS). \fBypupdated\fR consults the \fBupdaters\fR(4) file in the
20 \fB/var/yp\fR directory to determine which \fBNIS\fR maps should be updated and
24 By default, the daemon requires the most secure method of authentication
25 available to it, either \fBDES\fR (secure) or \fBUNIX\fR (insecure).
28 On start up, \fBypupdated\fR checks for the existence of a NIS to LDAP (N2L)
29 configuration file, \fB/var/yp/NISLDAPmapping\fR. If the file is present,
30 \fBypupdated\fR generates an informational message and exits. \fBypupdated\fR
31 is not supported in N2L mode.
39 Accept \fBRPC\fR calls with the insecure \fBAUTH_UNIX\fR credentials. This
40 allows programmatic updating of the \fBNIS\fR maps in all networks.
49 Accept only calls authenticated using the secure \fBRPC\fR mechanism
50 (\fBAUTH_DES\fR authentication). This disables programmatic updating of the
51 \fBNIS\fR maps unless the network supports these calls.

100 The Network Information Service (\fBNIS\fR) was formerly known as Sun Yellow
101 Pages (\fBYP\fR). The functionality of the two services remains the same. Only
102 the name has changed. The name Yellow Pages is a registered trademark in the
