Using yppush on the master server to propagate maps
The ypxfr command is also invoked by ypserv
when the
yppush(NADM)
command is run on the NIS master server.
yppush enumerates the NIS map ypservers
to generate a list of NIS servers in the domain and
sends a ``Transfer Map'' request to each named NIS server.
The ypserv command spawns a copy of ypxfr,
invoking it with the -C flag, and passes it the information
needed to identify the map and call back the initiating yppush
process with a summary status.
