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
