rpc.ypupdated, ypupdated - server for changing NIS information
/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/rpc.ypupdated [-is]
ypupdated is a daemon that updates information in the Network Information Service (NIS). ypupdated consults the updaters(5) file in the /var/yp directory to determine which NIS maps should be updated and how to change them.
By default, the daemon requires the most secure method of authentication available to it, either DES (secure) or UNIX (insecure).
On start up, ypupdated checks for the existence of a NIS to LDAP (N2L) configuration file, /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping. If the file is present, ypupdated generates an informational message and exits. ypupdated is not supported in N2L mode.

The name Yellow Pages is a registered trademark in the United Kingdom of British Telecommunications PLC, and it must not be used without permission.
