## README

= NISBuildD

NISBuildD is a daemon which can rebuild NIS database automatically. When changes happend on `/etc/passwd`, `/etc/shadow`, `/etc/group`, `/etc/gshadow`, this daemon will enter `/var/yp` and execute `make`.

WARNING: If your distribution does`t put NIS database in `/var/yp`, you need to edit my code.

To use it, you need to install `Node.js` and `npm` on your NIS master node.

You can get my code by `git` , but need to install dependencies by yourself, like this: 

[source, bash]
----
git clone https://gitee.com/qihexiang/nisbuildd.git
cd nisbuildd
npm install
----

If you don`t like to install dependencies on your server, you can install them on your computer, and then make it a tarball:

[source, bash]
----
cd ..
tar czfv nisbuildd.tar.gz nisbuildd
----

And then upload it to your server.

When it`s already on your server, for example, with path `/opt/nisbuildd`, you can write a systemd unit to control it, like this:

[source, ini]
./etc/systemd/system/nisbuildd.service
----
[Unit]
Description=NIS Database auto rebuild daemon

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /opt/nisbuildd/index.js

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
----

After that, you can use `systemctl enabel nisbuildd --now` to make it working.
