NAME
       ypset - bind ypbind to a particular NIS server

SYNOPSYS
       ypset [ -d domain ] [ -h hostname ] server


DESCRIPTION
       In   order   to  run  ypset,  ypbind  must be initiated with the -ypset or -ypsetme
       options.  See ypbind(8).  ypset tells ypbind to get NIS services for the  specified
       domain from the ypserv(8) process running on server.

       In  cases  where  several  hosts on the local net are supplying NIS services, it is
       possible for ypbind to rebind to another host even while you attempt to find out if
       the ypset operation succeeded. For example, you can type:


       example% ypset host1
       example% ypwhich
       host2

       which can be confusing. This is a function of the NIS subsystem’s attempt to
       know always a running NIS server, and occurs when host1 does not respond  to
       ypbind  because it is not running ypserv (or is overloaded), and host2, run-
       ning ypserv, gets the binding.

       Server indicates the NIS server to bind to,  and must be specified as a name
       or  an IP address. This will work only if the node has a current valid bind-
       ing for the domain in question, and ypbind has been  set  to  allow  use  of
       ypset.  In most  cases, server should be specified as an IP address.
OPTIONS
       -d domain
              Specify a domain other than the default domain as returned by domain-
              name(1).
       -h hostname
              Set the NIS binding on host hostname
               instead of the local machine.
