/var/yp/securenets

As with the previous NSKit release, the /var/yp/securenets file is now used to limit access to NIS services. If such a file exists on an NIS server, the server only answers queries or supplies maps to machines and networks listed in the file. For the file format, see the securenets man page.

The following is an example of a securenets file.

255.255.255.0	13.13.13.255
host	  13.13.14.1
host  	13.13.14.2
