List of Global Functions

• AutoPackages - Return needed packages and packages to be removed during autoinstallation.

• BrItem - Makes an item for the short summary. I guess the users module wants to avoid paragraph breaks.

• DomainChanged - If the domain has changed from a nonempty one, it may only be changed at boot time. Use this to warn the user.

• Export - Dump the NIS settings to a map, for autoinstallation use.

• Fake - Make up data for screnshots. To be used instead of @ref Read .

• GetDomain -

• GetModified - Functions which returns if the settings were modified

• GetServers -

• Import - Get all the NIS configuration from a map. When called by nis_auto (preparing autoinstallation data) the map may be empty.

• ProbePackages - Detect which packages have to be installed and return a descriptive string for a plain text pop-up.

• Read - Reads NIS settings from the SCR

• Set - Set module data

• SetDomain - Set the NIS domain.

• SetModified - Function sets internal variable, which indicates, that any settings were modified, to "true"

• SetServers - Set the servers from a string

• ShortSummary - Create a short textual summary with configuration abstract It is called by "authentication/user sources" dialog in yast2-users

• Summary -

• Touch - A convenient shortcut for setting touched.

• UsersByLdap - Used in the UI when NIS is turned on.

• Write - Saves NIS configuration.

• WriteNssConf - Configures the name service switch for the user databases according to chosen settings

• WriteOnly - Only write new configuration w/o starting any scripts

• check_address_nis - Check syntax of a network address (ip4 or name), names only if nsswitch.conf does not have hosts: nis

• check_nisdomainname - Check syntax of a NIS domain name

• valid_address_nis - Describe a valid address - ip4 or name, names only if nsswitch.conf does not have hosts: nis

• valid_nisdomainname -

List of Global Variables

• YpbindErrors - Output of "rcypbind start", if there was an error. Read only. This is currently used only in nis-server for its more advanced error reporting. (Bug 14706)

• _autofs_allowed - If no, automounter will not be affected.

• _start_autofs - Start automounter and import the settings from NIS. (Bug 6092)

• broken_server - You should set this to "yes" if you have a NIS server in your network, which binds only to high ports over 1024. Since this is a security risk, you should consider to replace the NIS server with another implementation.

• default_broadcast - Broadcast for the default domain? (New in ypbind-1.12)

• dhcp_possible - Is the domain AND yp.conf served by DHCP? This is independent of dhcp_wanted: dhcpcd*.pid exists and dhcpcd*.info contains NISSERVERS and NISDOMAIN. It is used to warn the user if he wants to turn DHCP on but the config is not provided.

• dhcp_restart - If dhcp_wanted changes, we need to restart the DHCP client

• dhcp_wanted - Whether sysconfig/network/dhcp says to get the domain AND yp.conf by DHCP. It will be turned off if dhcp_possible is off (the user can override it)

• dhcpcd_running - #35654: if the server is running and sysconfig wants NIS data, it's ok to FitIntoSingle

• global_broadcast - If this option is set, ypbind will ignore /etc/yp.conf and use a broadcast call to find a NIS server in the local subnet. You should avoid to use this, it is a big security risk.

• install_packages - Read only, set by ProbePackages. Use as an argument to DoInstallAndRemove

• local_only - If this option is set, ypbind will only bind to the loopback interface and remote hosts cannot query it.

• multidomain_broadcast - Servers for a multiple-domain configuration. Whether a broadcast will be done if the servers don't respond. Keys are domains, values are booleans. The domains must be the same as for multidomain_servers

• multidomain_servers - Servers for a multiple-domain configuration. Keys are domains, values are lists of servers (strings). The domains must be the same as for multidomain_broadcast

• options - Extra options for ypbind. Here you can add options like "-ypset", "-ypsetme", "-p port" or "-no-ping".

• required_packages - Required packages for this module to operate

• servers - IP addresses of NIS servers.

• start - Should ypbind be started at boot? If not, other settings are not touched.

• touched - Has the configuration been changed? Can be used as an argument to Popup::ReallyAbort
