NAME

ttyhstmgr − administer hosts on a network

SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/ttyhstmgr

DESCRIPTION

ttyhstmgr offers a curses-based interface that supports the definition of client machines on the server machine.  Membership in the sysadmin group (gid 14) is used to restrict access to this tool. Members of the sysadmin group can add a client to a server, or delete a client from a server.  Non-members have read-only permissions, and can use ttyhstmgr to get information about a host on the network. 

Three types of clients are supported:

diskless Clients that depend on the server for all disk needs. 

standalone Clients that may use the server as an optional file server. 

dataless Clients that have a local disk but use it only for root and swap. 

The supported naming services are:

NIS+ Network Information Service Plus, the replacement for NIS. 

NIS Network Information Service, formerly known as YP. 

None Text files in the /etc directory.
