You can use ypcat(1CC), ypmatch(1CC) and ypwhich(1CC) to obtain information from the NIS database if the ChorusOS system is bound to an NIS domain. See "Name Services and ypbind" for details about binding to the NIS server for the domain.
The following example uses ypcat to find "demo" networks mentioned in the NIS database:
$ rsh target ypcat networks | grep demo demo 129.157.171 demo2 129.157.176 |
Note that ypcat, ypmatch and ypwhich require access to the NIS database in order to look up information.
