FILES
The following table presents information about the standard Network Information Service maps.
The General NIS Mapname column lists names for sets of NIS maps; the sets include adjacent entries
from the Standard NIS Mapname column.
The ASCII Source column lists the ASCII files from which the maps are usually built on HP master NIS
servers. The
ypmake script permits the source directory, or file in the case of the passwd maps, to vary.
The Standard NIS Mapname column lists names by which maps are stored on NIS servers and referred
to by NIS clients.
