NAME
udpublickey - update the publickey database file and the NIS map
SYNOPSIS
udpublickey
Remarks
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Yellow Pages (yp). Although the name has
changed, the functionality of the service remains the same.
DESCRIPTION
udpublickey is executed from the updaters(1M) makefile when either newkey or rpc.ypupdated
updates the /etc/publickey databasefile.
udpublickey receives the following information from newkey or rpc.ypupdated:
Requestor’s name (a string)
Type of update
Number of bytes in key
Key
Number of bytes in data
Data
After receiving this information, udpublickey attempts to update the publickey database file,
/etc/publickey.
If the update is successful,
udpublickey makes the NIS map, publickey.byname
.
If the update is completely successful,
udpublickey exits with a zero (0) status; otherwise udpub-
lickey
exits with a valid NIS error.
This command should not be run interactively.
