<para>
<command>ypinit</command> builds the domain subdirectory of
<filename>/var/yp</filename> for the current default domain.
After building the domain subdirectory,
<command>ypinit</command> builds a complete set of administrative
maps for your system and places them in this directory. The first
map created by <userinput>ypinit -m</userinput> is the ypservers
map. You should run it as root on the hosts, which should be the
master ypserver.You should have only one master server per NIS domain.
</para>
<para>
All databases are built from scratch, either from information
available to the program at runtime, or from the <acronym>ASCII</acronym>
data base files in <filename>/etc</filename>. These files are
listed below under <acronym>FILES</acronym>.
</para>
<para>
An <acronym>NIS</acronym> database on a slave server is set up
by copying an existing database from a running server. The
<userinput>master_name</userinput> argument should be the
hostname of an <acronym>NIS</acronym> server (either the
master server for all the maps, or a server on which the data
base is up-to-date and stable).
