+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mknetid
+.Nd "generate netid map data"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm mknetid
+.Op Fl q
+.Op Fl g Ar group_file
+.Op Fl p Ar passwd_file
+.Op Fl h Ar hosts_file
+.Op Fl n Ar netid_file
+.Op Fl d Ar domain
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Mknetid
+processes the contents of the
+.Xr group 5 ,
+.Xr passwd 5 ,
+.Xr hosts 5 and
+.Xr netid 5
+files into the format used to generate the
+.Pa netid.byname
+NIS map. This map is used to hold credential information for both users
+and hosts in a operating system independent format.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm mknetid
+command checks for duplicate occurances of netids and filters
+them out.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm mknetid
+command prints its results on the standard output. It is usually called
+only by
+.Nm /var/yp/Makefile
+when rebuilding the NIS maps.
+.Pp
+.Sh OPTIONS
+The
+.Nm mknetid
+command supports the following options:
+.Bl -tag -width flag
+.It Fl q
+Normally,
+.Nm mknetid
+prints a warning message when it encounters a duplicate netid.
+This flag turns on 'quiet' mode, allowing the warnings to be
+surpressed. Other error messages may still be generated.
+.It Fl g Ar group-file
+The
+.Fl g
+flag can be used to specify the location of the group information
+file. The compiled-in default is
+.Pa /etc/group .
+.It Fl p Ar passwd-file
+The
+.Fl p
+flag can be used to specify the location of the passwd information
+file. The compiled-in default is
+.Pa /etc/passwd .
+.It Fl h Ar group-file
+The
+.Fl h
+flag can be used to specify the location of the hosts database
+file. The compiled-in default is
+.Pa /etc/hosts .
+.It Fl n Ar netid-file
+The
+.Fl n
+flag can be used to specify the location of the netid information
+file. The compiled-in default is
+.Pa /etc/netid .
+Note that no error is generated if the netid database can't be
+found. The netid database is not likely to be present on most systems
+until Secure RPC support is added to FreeBSD.
+.It Fl d Ar domain
+By default, the
+.Nm mknetid
+command uses the system domainname when generating netid records. If
+the system domainnameis not set, the domain must be specified on the
+command line with the
+.Fl d
+flag. If the domainname is set, the
+.Fl d
+flag may be used to override it.
