NAME
rpc.nisd_resolv - DNS service daemon for NIS
SYNOPSIS
rpc.nisd_resolv
[-v | -V][-F [-C file_descriptor]] [
-t transport ][
-p program_number]
DESCRIPTION
rpc.nisd_resolv
is an auxiliary process which provides DNS forwarding service for NIS hosts
requests. The
rpc.nisd_resolv
process is started by ypserv (NIS server) when invoked with the
-d option. It requires the /etc/resolv.conf
file to be set up for communication with a DNS
nameserver. The
nslookup utility can be used to verify communication with a DNS nameserver. See
resolv.conf (4) and nslookup (1).
Although it is not recommended,
rpc.nisd_resolv
can also be started independently with the follow-
ing options.
Options
-C file_descriptor Uses the specified file descriptor for service
xprt.
-F Runs in foreground.
-p program_number Uses the specified transient program number for RPC service procedure.
-t transport Uses the specified transport.
-v Operates in verbose mode. Sends output to:
/var/yp/rpc.nisd_resolv.log
.
-V Operates in verbose mode. Sends output to stdout.
