NAME
       yptest - test NIS configuration

SYNOPSYS
       yptest [-q] [-d domain] [-h host] [-m map] [-u user]


DESCRIPTION
       yptest  calls  various NIS functions to check if the NIS configuration
       is correct and works as expected.


OPTIONS
       -q     Be quiet, don't print messages

       -d domainname
	      Specify a domain other than the default domain as	 returned  by
	      domainname(1).  This option is not supported by all tests.

       -h hostname
	      Query  ypserv  on	 hostname  instead of the currently used one.
	      This option is not supported by all tests.

       -m map Use the map map for the tests instead of	passwd.byname.	 This
	      option should be used if the default map does not exist.

       -u user
	      Use  the account user instead of nobody.	This option should be
	      used if the nobody account does not exist in the map  used  for
	      testing (passwd.byname or the one given with the -m option).
