NIS::DBM Description

Perl module implementing a NIS daemon. NIS::DBM is a Perl module that implements a NIS daemon.SYNOPSIS use NIS::DBM;NIS::DBM trivializes the implementation of daemons and other scripts which maintain the NIS databases by presenting them as a hash keyed by both username and user id. If a numeric username exists in the byname databases, the number associated with that username will be used as the user id. This is the same behavior as chown and chgrp.NIS::DBM maintains three caches of information to construct an accurate view of the NIS databases as modified by the program. The caches are for actual records from the database, modifications to the database, and deletions from the database. The caches have the following precedence: deletions, modifications, and general cache. The caches may be flushed to the database files at any time or upon object destruction. Requirements: · Perl
