DESCRIPTION
       mknetid generates the netid.byname NIS map from the contents of the group(5), passwd(5),
       hosts(5) and netid files. It checks for multiple entrys of netids and warn for them or
       filters them out. It is only called by /var/yp/Makefile when rebuilding the NIS map.

OPTIONS
       -q     This flag turns on 'quiet' mode, don't print a warning message when finding an
              duplicate netid entry.

       -h hosts

              /etc/hosts.

       -p passwd

       -g group
              The -g flag can be used to specify the use of another group file than the default
              /etc/group.

       -n netid
              The -n flag can be used to specify the use of another netid file than the default
              /etc/netid.
