chgnod(1M)                                             chgnod(1M)



     NAME
          chgnod - change current Oreo system nodename

     SYNOPSIS
          chgnod new-name [kernel-file]

     DESCRIPTION
          chgnod accesses the structure defined in sys/utsname.h:

               struct utsname {
                    char sysname[9];
                    char nodename[9];
                    char release[9];
                    char version[9];
               };

          chgnod changes the nodename of the currently running kernel
          to new-name.  kernel-file is the name of the kernel that was
          last booted.  If you don't specify a kernel-file, /unix is
          assumed.  nodename is a null-terminated string containing
          the name the system is known by on a communications network.

          new-name must not be longer than eight characters; longer
          names are truncated to eight.  It prints the old and new
          nodenames on completion.

          chgnod only changes the nodename of the kernel in memory.
          The next time you reboot your system, your nodename will not
          reflect this change.  If you want to permanently change your
          nodename, you must edit the configuration file name.c and
          remake your kernel.

     EXAMPLE
               chgnod user10 /unix.current

          changes your nodename to user10 if /unix.current was the
          last kernel booted.
