nsd

IRIX nsd database maps V8.10 and later

The nsd database-map type implements an interface to the Unified Name Service supplied under IRIX 6.5 and later. 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:

Kname 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.
