NAME
     dname - print Remote File Sharing domain and network names

SYNOPSIS
     dname [-D domain] [-N netspeclist] [-dna]

DESCRIPTION
     dname prints or defines a host's Remote File Sharing  domain
     name  or the network(s) used by Remote File Sharing as tran-
     sport provider(s).  When used with d, n, or a options, dname
     can  be  run by any user to print the domain name, transport
     provider name(s), or both.  Only a user with root permission
     can  use the -D domain option to set the domain name for the
     host or -N netspeclist to set the network specification used
     for  Remote  File Sharing.  netspeclist is a comma-separated
     list of transport providers  (tp1,tp2,...).   The  value  of
     each transport provider is the network device name, relative
     to the /dev directory.  For  example,  the  STARLAN  NETWORK
     uses  starlan.  domain must consist of no more than 14 char-
     acters, consisting of any combination of letters (upper  and
     lower case), digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).  When
     dname is used to change a domain name, the  host's  password
     is  removed.   The  administrator will be prompted for a new
     password the  next  time  Remote  File  Sharing  is  started
     [rfstart(1M)].   If  dname  is used with no options, it will
     default to dname -d.

NOTES
     You cannot use the -N or -D options while Remote File  Shar-
     ing is running.
