The \fBnetid\fR file can be used in conjunction with, or instead of, +the network source: \fBNIS\fR or \fBNIS+.\fR The \fBpublickey\fR entry in +the \fBnsswitch.conf\fR (see \fBnsswitch.conf\fR(4)) file determines which of +these sources will be queried by the system to translate netnames to local user +ids or hostnames. +.sp +.LP +Each entry in the \fBnetid\fR file is a single line of the form: +.sp +.in +2 +.nf +\fInetname uid\fR\fB:\fR\fIgid, gid, gid\|.\|.\|.\fR +.fi +.in -2 +.sp + +.sp +.LP +or +.sp +.in +2 +.nf +\fInetname\fR \fB 0:\fR\fBhostname\fR +.fi +.in -2 +.sp + +.sp +.LP +The first entry associates a local user id with a netname.
