yppush

The yppush command is a command-line utility that can be used to push changes to NIS (Network Information Service) maps to slave servers. NIS is a service that provides a central repository for user and group information.

The yppush command is used as follows:

yppush [options] [map name] [source server] [destination server]

• options: These are optional flags that can be used to control the behavior of the yppush command.

• map name: This is the name of the NIS map that you want to push.

• source server: This is the name of the NIS server that contains the updated map.

• destination server: This is the name of the NIS server that you want to push the map to.

For example, the following command pushes the changes to the passwd map from the source server master to the destination server slave:

yppush -m passwd master slave

The yppush command is a useful tool for system administrators who need to keep NIS maps synchronized between servers. It is also a useful tool for users who want to make sure that their local NIS maps are up to date.

Here are some of the benefits of using yppush:

• It is a simple and easy-to-use command.

• It can be used to push changes to NIS maps between servers of different platforms.

• It is reliable and efficient.

• It is supported by most Linux distributions.

Here are some of the drawbacks of using yppush:

• It can be slow for large NIS maps.

• It can be difficult to troubleshoot if there are problems with the push.

• It may not be as secure as some other methods of pushing NIS maps.
