Propagating maps
When a new NIS map is created on the master server in
an NIS domain, the new map must be propagated, or
``pushed'', to
all NIS servers in that domain.
NIS maps can be pushed to the servers
with either the
yppush(NADM)
or the
ypmake(NADM)
command.
To create an NIS map on the master server and to push this map to all the servers in an NIS domain, follow these steps:
ypmake mapname
yppush mapname
