A switched map is one that, either as the result of a service-switch file or because of sendmail 's internal logic, causes lookups to follow a select path . For example, Sun's Solaris 2 nsswitch.conf might specify that aliases be looked up in the order files , then nis : switch_map_open( name, file, mode ) from -d38.2 switch_map_find => nummaps dbtype ... First the number of database maps found is printed with nummaps , then the database type for each map found in the list is printed, such as files , or nis . |
