### NAME

mknetid - a NIS filter program

### SYNOPSIS

mknetid [-q] [-d domain] [-p passwdfile] [-g groupfile] [-h hostfile] [-m netidfile]

### DESCRIPTION

mknetid is used to create a map named ```netid.byname`. The map consists of information from passwd(5), group(5) and hosts(5) eventually concatenated with a netid(5) file.

The options are as follows:

-d domain
  NIS domain to use instead of the default domain.

-g groupfile
  Alternate group(5) file. Default is ```/etc/group`.

-h hostfile
  Alternate hosts(5) file. Default is ```/etc/hosts`.

-m netidfile
  Alternate netid(5) file. Default is ```/etc/netid`.

-p passwdfile
  Alternate passwd(5) file. Default is ```/etc/passwd`.

-q
  Keep quiet about multiple occurrences of a uid; ignore all but the first.

### FILES

```/etc/group`
```/etc/hosts`
```/etc/netid`
```/etc/passwd`
