nis.mapping File

dejasync gets from the Deja.properties file the list of maps managed by Deja for NIS. These are lines that start with the NIS_MAPS token.

For each map in the Deja.properties file, dejasync creates a new map definition by copying the following tokens from the nis.mapping file into the Deja.properties file:

If these tokens exist in the Deja.properties file, dejasync updates them. If they do not exist, it creates them.
