create_nidb
create_nidb [tag[master_hostname[root_dir]]
Creates and populates an Open Directory database from the contents of
flat files in /etc. This may be especially
useful if you have configuration information you wish to carry over
from another Unix system. Currently create_nidb
makes use of the following files:
/etc/master.passwd
|
/etc/group
|
/etc/hosts
|
/etc/networks
|
create_nidb should be run with root privileges.
master_hostname
The name of the host serving the master copy of the Open Directory
database. The default is localhost if the tag is
local, otherwise it’s the
hostname of the system on which create_nidb is
run.
root_dir
The directory in which /var/db/netinfo/tag.nidb
will be created. The default is /.
tag
The tag of the Open Directory database. The default is
local.
