NAME

     rpc.nisd_resolv, nisd_resolv - NIS+ service daemon


SYNOPSIS

     rpc.nisd_resolv [-v | -V]  [ -F [-C fd]] [-t xx] [-p yy]


DESCRIPTION

     rpc.nisd_resolv is an auxiliary process which  provides  DNS
     forwarding service for NIS hosts requests to both ypserv and
     rpc.nisd that are running in the NIS compatibility mode.  It
     is  generally  started by invoking  rpc.nisd(1M) with the -B
     option or ypserv(1M) with the -d option. Although it is  not
     recommended,  rpc.nisd_resolv  can  also be started indepen-
     dently with the following options.

     This command requires  that  the  /etc/resolv.conf  file  be
     setup  for communication with a DNS nameserver. The nslookup
     utility can be used  to  verify  communication  with  a  DNS
     nameserver.  See resolv.conf(4) and nslookup(1M).


OPTIONS

     -F    Run in foreground.

     -C fd Use  fd for service xprt (from nisd).

     -v    Verbose. Send output to the syslog daemon.

     -V    Verbose. Send output to stdout.

     -t xx Use transport  xx.

     -p yy Use transient program#  yy.
