Yo, I was wondering if any one can point me to source that shows how to work with YP. I would like to find out how something like yypasswd works, where a program can update the YP information w/o someone having to remake the maps by hand. The various man pages on yp*() calls seem to only deal with searching and updating, not adding entirely new entries. I guess the source database would also have to be updated too so the next manual YP make would have the information in it. Is there anyway to lock the YP map so no one else is updating at the same time? Or does one have to use their own locking scheme? Send mail to me and I'll summarize..... Thanks, edgar
