NAME

ypcat - print values from an Network Information Service (NIS) data base  

SYNOPSIS

ypcat [-k] [-t] [-d domainname] mname

ypcat -x


 

OPTIONS

Displays information on the domain specified by domainname. Displays keys for maps in which values are null or key is not part of the value. Inhibits translation of mname to mapname. For example, ypcat -t passwd

will fail because there is no map named passwd, whereas ypcat passwd
will be translated to ypcat passwd.byname. Displays map nickname table. This lists the nicknames (mnames) the command knows of, and indicates the mapname associated with each nickname.
 

DESCRIPTION

The ypcat command prints values stored in an NIS map specified by mname, which may be either a mapname or a map nickname.

To look at the network-wide password database, passwd.byname, with the nickname passwd, type: ypcat passwd
