MAKENDB(8) makendb $PACKAGE_VERSION@ man page MAKENDB(8) NAME makendb - update NSS_NDB databases SYNOPSIS makendb [options] <db-path> <src-path> DESCRIPTION This manual page documents the makendb command. makendb is a tool that can be used to update (and possibly dump) NSS_NDB databases. It also contains special update modes for importing passwd and group files. Please note: In order for the nss_ndb backend to be able to extract the list of groups for a specific user efficiently is important to import both passwd and group data so the group.byuser database can be populated. mak- endb does this automatically if you import both. For large installations with large amounts of users & groups you probably want to use some other tool to import data into the NDB databases. One ex- ample of such a tool written in Perl called ndbsync can be found in the ex- amples directory. This tool syncs the local NDB databases with a remote MySQL database and can be run from cron. OPTIONS -h Displays usage information -V Display version number -v Increase verbosity (may be specified multiple times) -d Increase internal debugging level (may be specified multiple times) -k Also print the "key" when dumping databases. -p Print (dump) the database contents. -u Enable unique mode. Refuse to overwrite already existing records in the database when importing. -Ddelim Specify field delimiter char- acters. By default uses ":". -T type Specify type of file to read. Valid types are passwd or group and must be specified when importing data into the NDB databases. EXAMPLES $ makendb -T passwd /var/db/nss_ndb/passwd </etc/master.passwd $ makendb -T group /var/db/nss_ndb/group </etc/group FILES /usr/local/share/examples/nss_ndb/ndbsync /var/db/nss_ndb SEE ALSO nss_ndb(8), nsstest(8), nss_ndb.conf(5), nsswitch.conf(5), nsdispatch(3), https://github.com/ptrrkssn/nss_ndb AUTHOR nss_ndb and tools was written by Peter Eriksson <pen@lysator.liu.se>. 1.0.24 13 Jun 2020 MAKENDB(8)
