   7 .SH NAME
   8 ypmap2src \- convert NIS maps to NIS source files
   9 .SH SYNOPSIS
  10 .LP
  11 .nf
  12 \fB/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypmap2src\fR [\fB-t\fR]
  13      [ [\fB-c\fR \fIcustom-map-name\fR]]... [\fB-d\fR \fIdomain\fR] \fB-o\fR \fIoutput-directory\fR

  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.
