NAME

dname − print RFS domain and network names

SYNOPSIS

dname [ −adn ] [ −D domain ] [ −N netspec ]

AVAILABILITY

This program is available with the RFS software installation option.  Refer to Installing SunOS 4.1 for information on how to install optional software. 

DESCRIPTION

dname prints or defines a host’s Remote File Sharing (RFS) domain name or the network used by RFS as transport provider. 

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 RFS is started.  See rfstart(8). 

If dname is used with no options, it defaults to ‘dname  −d’. 

You cannot use the −D or −N options while RFS is running. 

OPTIONS

−a Print both the domain name and network name. 

−d Print the domain name. 

−n Print the network name. 

−D domain
Set the domain name for the host. domain must consist of no more than 14 characters, consisting of any combination of letters (upper and lower case), digits, hyphens (−), and underscores (_).  This option is restricted to the super-user. 

−N netspec
Set the network specification used for RFS.  netspec is the network device name, relative to the /dev directory.  For example, the TCP transport device, /dev/tcp uses tcp.  This option is restricted to the super-user.

NOTES

This domain name is not related to the Network Information Service (NIS) domain name.  Note: NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP).  The functionality of the two remains the same; only the name has changed.
