  41 .Sh NAME
  42 .Nm ypset
  43 .Nd tell
  44 .Xr ypbind 8
  45 which YP server process to use
  46 .Sh SYNOPSIS
  47 .Nm ypset
  48 .Op Fl h Ar host
  49 .Op Fl d Ar domain
  50 .Ar server
  51 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  52 .Nm Ypset
  53 tells the
  54 .Xr ypbind 8
  55 process on the current machine which YP server process to communicate with.
  56 If
  57 .Ar server
  58 is down or is not running a YP server process, it is not discovered until
  59 a YP client process attempts to access a YP map, at which time
  60 .Xr ypbind 8
  61 tests the binding and takes appropriate action.
  62 .Pp
  63 .Nm Ypset
  64 is most useful for binding a YP client that is not on the same broadcast
  65 network as the closest YP server, but can also be used for debugging
  66 a local network's YP configuration, testing specific YP client
  67 programs, or binding to a specific server when there are many servers on
  68 the local network supplying YP maps.
  69 .Pp
  70 The options are as follows:
  71 .Bl -tag -width indent
  72 .It Fl h Ar host
  73 Set the YP binding on
  74 .Ar host
  75 instead of the local machine.
  76 .It Fl d Ar domain
  77 Use the YP domain
  78 .Ar domain
  79 instead of the default domain as returned by
  80 .Xr domainname 1 .
