Hi,
I am just starting to experiment with NIS, and one thing I am not clear
about is the existence of
rpc_ypupdated_enable="NO" # Run if NIS master and SecureRPC (or NO).
in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
According to the man pages for yp,
While FreeBSD now has both NIS client and server capabilities, it does
not yet have support for ypupdated(8) or the yp_update() function. Both
of these require secure RPC, which FreeBSD doesn't support yet either.
If its not supported, what is its function ?
Thanks,
---Mike
