Extend Checks to NIS+ Tables: YPCHECK

The YPCHECK environment variable specifies whether ASET should also check system configuration file tables. YPCHECK is a Boolean variable; you can specify only true or false for it. The default value is false, disabling NIS+ table checking.

To understand how this variable works, consider its effect on the passwd file. When this variable is set to false, ASET checks the local passwd file. When it is set to true, the task also checks the NIS+ passwd file for the domain of the system.


Note -

Although ASET automatically repairs the local tables, it only reports potential problems in the NIS+ tables; it does not change them.
