nisupdate.conf

# 		Sample Rules for the nis_update Script

# Copy this file into a subdirectory with your NIS domain's name as
# .nisupdate.conf and edit it there to reflect the maps you have.

# For every possible transformation complex ( e.g. passwd+shadow ->
# *.byname+.byuid) there is a rule that is identified by a free-form string
# that is printed upon its execution. The contents of $rule{"$idstr"} determine
# the actual action to be taken.

# Rule syntax: "<func> <src>[,<src2>,...]  <dest>[,<dest2>,...] [func-options]"
# options must be last because they're optional :-)
# they are a comma separated list for each target:
# 0-9: key field
# 'n': exclude key field from value string
# ':': field separator (group, no shadow). passwd is special anyway.
#
# default is "0" for single DBs, "0,1" for dual DBs (*.byname,*.bynumber)

# I assume you want at least passwd and group.
# Un-comment the rest or add your own.

#     "mkdb aliases mail.aliases n0:";
