File Formats nodename(4)
NAME
nodename - local source for system name
SYNOPSIS
/etc/nodename
DESCRIPTION
When a machine is standalone or its IP address is configured
locally, the /etc/nodename file contains the system name. By
convention, the system name is the same as the hostname
associated with the IP address of the primary network inter-
face, for example, hostname.hme0.
If the machine's network configuration is delivered by the
RPC bootparams protocol, the /etc/nodename file is not used,
as the system name is delivered by the remote service.
Given a system name value, regardless of source, the uname
utility invoked with the -S option is used to set the system
name of the running system.
If the machine's network configuration is delivered by the
DHCP protocol, the /etc/nodename file is used only if the
DHCP server does not provide a value for the Hostname option
(DHCP standard option code 12).
A system name configured in /etc/nodename should be unique
within the system's name service domain in order to ensure
that any network services provided by the system will
operate correctly.
Given a system name value, regardless of source, the uname
utility invoked with the -S option is used to set the system
name of the running system.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Syntax
The syntax for nodename consists of a single line containing
the system's name. For example, for a system named myhost:
myhost
