netid(5)

NAME

netid - YP network credential file

DESCRIPTION

Files in netid format are rare. One lives in the YP map

netid.byname.
The format is rather simple. Each row consists of two

items: a key and a
value. When created by mknetid(8) there are three types of

records.

The first type is information about which GIDs a UID has:

unix.<uid>@<yp-domain> <uid>:<gid>,<gid>

The second type contains information about hosts:

unix.<hostname>@<yp-domain> 0:<hostname>

The third type refers to records from a netid file other

than the two
types above.

FILES

/etc/netid for lines not generated automatically by

mknetid(8)

EXAMPLES

A configuration file might look like the following:

unix.10714@kaka 10714:400,10
unix.jodie@kaka 0:jodie
