Irix nsd database maps

V8.10 and above

The nsd database-map type implements an interface to the Unified Name Service supplied under Irix 6.5 and above. That service is a translation layer between any program and a wide range of services ( ranging from NIS to LDAP). You declare an nsd database-map type like this:

 K  name  nsd  switches  nsdmap  

The name is the symbolic name you will later use in the RHS of rule sets. The nsdmap is a full path into the nsd (8) daemons' name space (such as /ns/engr.sgi.com/passwd.byname ).

This nsd database-map type supports only a few switches. They are listed in Table 23-21.
