A common solution to this is to +generate a secure map (using +.Dq makedbm -s ) +which can only be accessed by a client bound to a privileged port. +To activate the secure map, see the appropriate comment in +.Pa /var/yp/Makefile.yp . +.Pp +The +.Tn NIS +subsystem is conditionally started in +.Pa /etc/rc . +See the +.Pa /etc/rc.conf +file for configuration variables. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr domainname 1 , +.Xr ypcat 1 , +.Xr ypmatch 1 , +.Xr ypwhich 1 , +.Xr ypclnt 3 , +.Xr group 5 , +.Xr hosts_access 5 , +.Xr nsswitch.conf 5 , +.Xr passwd 5 , +.Xr rc.conf 5 , +.Xr rc 8 , +.Xr ypbind 8 , +.Xr ypinit 8 , +.Xr yppoll 8 , +.Xr yppush 8 , +.Xr ypserv 8 , +.Xr ypset 8 , +.Xr yptest 8 , +.Xr ypxfr 8 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Tn NIS +client subsystem was originally written by Theo de Raadt +to be compatible with Sun's implementation. The +.Tn NIS +server suite was originally written by Mats O Jansson. +.Sh BUGS +If +.Xr ypbind 8 +cannot find a server, the system behaves the same way as Sun's code: +it hangs. +.Pp +The +.Sq secure map +feature is not compatible with non-BSD implementations as found +e.g. in Solaris. |
