ypbind finds the server for NIS domains and maintains the NIS binding information. The client (normaly the NIS routines in the standard C library) could get the information over RPC from ypbind or read the binding files.

Enables client processes to bind, or connect, to an NIS server. /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypbind [ -s-ypset-ypsetme ] The ypbind daemon binds, or connects, processes on a Network Information Services (NIS) client to services on an NIS server.

ypbind will try at first /etc/hosts and then DNS for resolving the hosts names from /etc/yp.conf. If ypbind couldn't reconfigure the search order, it will use only DNS. If DNS isn't available, you could only use IP-addresses in /etc/hosts. ypbind could only reconfigure the search order with glibc 2.x.

The ypbind packages provide the ypbind daemon to bind NIS clients to an NIS domain. The ypbind daemon must be running on any machines that run NIS client programs. Previously, the localhost was not treated specifically in the domains list of the ypbind program.

ypbind finds the server for NIS domains and maintains the NIS binding information. The client (normally the NIS routines in the standard C library) could get the information over RPC from ypbind or read the binding files. The binding files resides in the directory /var/yp/binding and are conventionally named [domainname]. [version].
