YPPUSH Utility

This utility copies a new version of the named Network Information Service (NIS) map from the master NIS server to the slave NIS servers. The yppush utility is normally run only on the master NIS server after the master databases are changed and the changes needs to be updated in the NIS slave servers immediately. The yppush utility first constructs a list of NIS slave server hosts by reading the NIS map 'ypservers' within the same domain. Then a transfer map request is sent to the NIS server on each host.
