40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41Files in
42.Xr netid 5
43format are rare.
44One lives in the
45.Nm YP
46map
47.Dq netid.byname .
48The format is rather simple.
49Each row consists of two items: a key and a value.
50When created by
51.Xr mknetid 8
52there are three types of records.
53.Pp
54The first type is information about which GIDs a UID has:
55.Bd -literal
56unix.<uid>@<yp-domain> <uid>:<gid>,<gid>
57.Ed
58.Pp
59The second type contains information about hosts:
60.Bd -literal
61unix.<hostname>@<yp-domain> 0:<hostname>
62.Ed
63.Pp
64The third type refers to records from a
65.Xr netid 5
66file other than the two types above.
67.Sh EXAMPLES
68A configuration file might look like the following:
69.Bd -literal
70unix.10714@kaka 10714:400,10
71unix.jodie@kaka 0:jodie
72.Ed
73.Sh FILES
74.Bl -tag -width /etc/netid -compact
75.It Pa /etc/netid
76for lines not generated automatically by
