TABLE 15–2 Descriptions of N2L Commands, Files, and MapsCommand/File/MapDescription(Continued)ageing.bynameA mapping used by yppasswdd to read and write password aginginformation to the DIT when the NIS-to-LDAP transition isimplemented.Supported Standard MappingsBy default, the N2L service supports mappings between the following list of maps andRFC 2307, or its successors’, LDAP entries. These standard maps do not requiremanual modification to the mapping file. Any maps on your system that are not in thefollowing list are considered custom maps and require manual modification.The N2L service also supports automatic mapping of the auto.* maps. However,since most auto.* file names and contents are specific to each network configuration,those files are not specified in this list. The exceptions to this are the auto.home andauto.master maps, which are supported as standard maps.audit_userauth_attrauto.homeauto.masterbootparamsethers.byaddr ethers.bynameexec_attrgroup.bygid group.byname group.adjunct.bynamehosts.byaddr hosts.bynameipnodes.byaddr ipnodes.bynamemail.byaddr mail.aliasesnetgroup netgroup.byprojid netgroup.byuser netgroup.byhostnetid.bynamenetmasks.byaddrnetworks.byaddr networks.bynamepasswd.byname passwd.byuid passwd.adjunct.bynameprinters.conf.bynameprof_attrproject.byname project.byprojectidprotocols.byname protocols.bynumberpublickey.bynamerpc.bynumberservices.byname services.byservicenametimezone.bynameuser_attrDuring the NIS-to-LDAP transition, the yppasswdd daemon uses the N2L-specificmap, ageing.byname, to read and write password aging information to the DIT.
