# NAME

mknetid — a NIS filter program

# SYNOPSIS

mknetid | [-q] [-d domain] [-g groupfile] [-h hostfile] [-m netidfile] [-p passwdfile]

# DESCRIPTION

mknetid is used to create a map named netid.byname. The map consists of information from passwd(5), group(5) and hosts(5) eventually concatenated with a netid(5) file.

The options are as follows:

-d domain
  NIS domain to use instead of the default domain.
-g groupfile
  Alternate group(5) file. Default is /etc/group.
-h hostfile
  Alternate hosts(5) file. Default is /etc/hosts.
-m netidfile
  Alternate netid(5) file. Default is /etc/netid.
-p passwdfile
  Alternate passwd(5) file. Default is /etc/passwd.
-q
  Keep quiet about multiple occurrences of a uid; ignore all but the first.
