-p Process the password ﬁeld when loading password information from a ﬁle. By default, the pass-

word ﬁeld is ignored because it is usually not valid (the actual password appears in a shadow

ﬁle).

-q Dump tables in "quick" mode. The default method for dumping tables processes each entry indi-

vidually. For some tables (e.g., hosts), multiple entries must be combined into a single line, so

extra requests to the server must be made. In "quick" mode, all of the entries for a table are

retrieved in one call to the server, so the table can be dumped more quickly. However, for large

tables, there is a chance that the process will run out of virtual memory and the table will not be

dumped.

-r Replace the ﬁle or map in the existing NIS+ table by ﬁrst deleting any existing entries, and then

add the entries from the source (/etc ﬁles, or NIS+ maps). This option has the same effect as

the -m option. The use of this option is strongly discouraged due to its adverse impact on perfor-

mance, unless there are a large number of changes.

-t table Specify that table should be the NIS+ table for this operation. This should be a relative name as

compared to your default domain or the domainname if it has been speciﬁed.

-v Verbose.

-y ypdomain

Use the dbm ﬁles for the appropriate NIS map, from the NIS domain ypdomain, as the source of

input. The ﬁles are expected to be on the local machine in the

/var/yp/ypdomain directory.

If the machine is not an NIS server, use ypxfr(1M) to get a copy of the

dbm ﬁles for the appropri-

ate map.

-A All data. This option speciﬁes that the data within the table and all of the data in tables in the

initial table’s concatenation path be returned.

-D defaults

This option speciﬁes a different set of defaults to be used during this operation. The defaults

string is a series of tokens separated by colons. These tokens represent the default values to be

used for the generic object properties. All of the legal tokens are described below.

ttl=time

This token sets the default time to live for objects that are created by this command. The

value time is speciﬁed in the format as deﬁned by the nischttl(1) command. The default is

12 hours.

owner=ownername

This token speciﬁes that the NIS+ principal ownername should own the created object. The

default for this value is the principal who is executing the command.

group=groupname

This token speciﬁes that the group groupname should be the group owner for the object

that is created. The default is NULL.

access=rights

This token speciﬁes the set of access rights that are to be granted for the given object. The

value rights is speciﬁed in the format as deﬁned by the nischmod(1) command. The default

is ----rmcdr - - -r---.

-M Master server only. This option speciﬁes that lookups should be sent to the master server. This

guarantees that the most up-to-date information is seen at the possible expense that the master

server may be busy, or that it may be made busy by this operation.

-P Follow concatenation path. This option speciﬁes that lookups should follow the concatenation

path of a table if the initial search is unsuccessful.

-Y map Use the dbm ﬁles for map as the source of input.

EXAMPLES

Add the contents of /etc/passwd to the passwd.org_dir table:

cat /etc/passwd | nisaddent passwd

Add the shadow information (note that the table type here is shadow, not passwd, even though the

actual information is stored in the

passwd table):
