ChorusOS 5.0 System Administrator's Guide

ypcat

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.

Example 13-8 Reading NIS Information

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.
