ypcat -x
This command is available with the Networking software installation option. Refer to [a manual with the abbreviation INSTALL] for information on how to install optional software.
ypcat prints out values in a Network Information Service (NIS) map specified by mname, which may be either a map name or a map nickname . Since ypcat uses the NIS service, no NIS server is specified.
To look at the network-wide password database, passwd.byname, (with the nickname passwd). type in:
ypcat passwd
Refer to ypfiles.5 and ypserv.8 for an overview of the NIS service.
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the name has changed. The name Yellow Pages is a registered trademark in the United Kingdom of British Telecommunications plc, and may not be used without permission.
