ypservers ∗∗∗ ypservers
∗ These databases are not built on HP master Network Information Service servers. However, if
an HP machine is a slave to a master NIS server that creates and distributes these databases, the
HP slave NIS server will store these databases. It is suggested that if you have a non-HP
machine that requires these maps, make that machine the master NIS server. By doing this, the
maps should be built as needed.
∗∗∗ No ASCII source exists for the ypservers database. It is created from responses provided by
the user of ypinit on the master NIS server, and it has no matching ypservers.time
file.
