MKNETID(8)              OpenBSD System Manager's Manual             MKNETID(8)

NAME
     mknetid - generate a YP map of group and domain memberships

SYNOPSIS
     mknetid [-q] [-d domain] [-g groupfile] [-h hostfile] [-m netidfile]
             [-P master.passwdfile] [-p passwdfile]

DESCRIPTION
     The mknetid utility combines information from the passwd(5), group(5),
     hosts(5), and netid(5) files, printing it in netid(5) format to the stan-
     dard output.  If the passwd(5) file is not available, the
     master.passwd(5) file is used instead.  The netid(5) file is optional and
     does not need to exist.

     The most common application is to pass the output to makedbm(8) in order
     to create a netid.byname map for the yp(8) subsystem.

     The options are as follows:

     -d domain
             Use domain instead of the default domainname(1).

     -g groupfile
             Use groupfile instead of /etc/group.

     -h hostfile
             Use hostfile instead of /etc/hosts.

     -m netidfile
             Use netidfile instead of /etc/netid.

     -P master.passwdfile
             Use master.passwdfile instead of /etc/master.passwd.

     -p passwdfile
             Use passwdfile instead of /etc/passwd.

     -q      Keep quiet about multiple occurrences of a user ID.  Ignore all
             but the first.

FILES
     /etc/passwd
     /etc/master.passwd
     /etc/group
     /etc/hosts
     /etc/netid
