  17 .SH DESCRIPTION
  18 .sp
  19 .LP
  20 Use the \fBypmap2src\fR utility to convert standard NIS maps to approximations
  21 of the equivalent NIS source files. This utility functions like the reverse of
  22 \fBypmake\fR(1M).
  23 .sp
  24 .LP
  25 The primary use for \fBypmap2src\fR is to convert from a NIS server that uses
  26 the NIS to LDAP(N2L) transition mechanism, which does not use NIS source files,
  27 to traditional NIS, where source files are required. The \fBypmap2src\fR
  28 utility is also used by NIS administrators who wish to discover the contents of
  29 NIS maps for which the sources are not available.
  30 .sp
  31 .LP
  32 Generally, this operation is not necessary. More often, administrators will
  33 switch from traditional NIS to N2L in anticipation of the eventual transition
  34 to LDAP naming. When this switch is made, authoritative information is moved
  35 into the LDAP DIT, and the NIS sources have no further role. N2L supports NIS
  36 clients until such time as they can be converted to LDAP, and the NIS service
  37 suspended.
  38 .sp
  39 .LP
  40 The \fBypmap2src\fR utility does not guarantee that the files that are
  41 generated are identical to the original NIS source files. Some information
  42 might have been thrown away by \fBypmake\fR and cannot be recovered. N2L also
  43 might have updated the maps to reflect changes made by LDAP clients. It is
  44 essential that the sources generated are checked to confirm no problems have
  45 occurred.
  46 .sp
  47 .LP
  48 Per entry comment fields, from existing source files, are not merged into
  49 source files generated by \fBypmap2src\fR. If a user wishes N2L to maintain
  50 comment information, then the \fBNISLDAPmapping\fR configuration file should be
  51 modified so that the comment fields are mapped into  LDAP. This will ensure
  52 that the comments are visible to native LDAP clients and present in the N2L map
  53 files.
  54 .sp
  55 .LP
  56 When \fBypmap2src\fR is run, it will take up-to-date comments from the map file
  57 and insert them into the NIS source file generated.
  58 .SS "Handling Custom Maps"
  59 .sp
  60 .LP
  61 \fBypmap2src\fR only knows about the standard NIS maps and standard source to
  62 map conversion. If an advanced user has changed these, that is, the user has
  63 modified the NIS makefile, the equivalent changes must also be made to the
  64 \fBypmap2src\fR script.
  65 .SH OPTIONS
  66 .sp
  67 .LP
  68 \fBypmap2src\fR supports the following options:
  69 .sp
  70 .ne 2
  71 .na
  72 \fB\fB-c\fR\fR
  73 .ad
  74 .RS 18n
  75 Specifies that \fIcustom-map-name\fR should be converted to a source
  76 file by running \fBmakedbm\fR \fB-u\fR on it. This is a short cut so that
  77 simple custom maps can be handled without editing \fBypmap2src\fR.
  78 .RE
  79 
  80 .sp
  81 .ne 2
  82 .na
  83 \fB\fB-d\fR \fIdomain-name\fR\fR
  84 .ad
  85 .RS 18n
  86  Specifies the domain to convert. The \fIdomain-name\fR can be a fully
  87 qualified file path, such as \fB/var/yp/a.b.c\fR, or just a domain name,
  88 a.b.c\fB\fR. In the latter case, \fBypmaptosrc\fR looks in \fB/var/yp\fR for
  89 the domain directory.
  90 .RE
  91 
  92 .sp
  93 .ne 2
  94 .na
  95 \fB\fB-o\fR \fIdest\fR\fR
  96 .ad
  97 .RS 18n
  98  Specifies the destination directory for the converted files. A directory other
  99 than \fB/etc\fR should be specified. The maps generated are copied to the
 100 correct location, \fB/etc\fR, \fB/etc/security\fR or other source directory, as
 101 appropriate.
 102 .RE
 103 
 104 .sp
 105 .ne 2
 106 .na
 107 \fB\fB-t\fR\fR
 108 .ad
 109 .RS 18n
 110 Specifies that traditional NIS maps, without N2L's \fBLDAP_\fR prefix, should
 111 be converted. By default, maps with the \fBLDAP_\fR prefix are converted.
 112 .RE
 113 
 114 .SH OPERANDS
 115 .sp
 116 .LP
 117 \fBypmap2src\fR supports the following operands:
 118 .sp
 119 .ne 2
 120 .na
 121 \fB\fIsource-file\fR\fR
 122 .ad
 123 .RS 15n
 124 Lists the standard source files to convert. If this option is not given, then
 125 all the standard source files, plus any custom files pecified by the \fB-c\fR
 126 option, are converted.
