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