chgnod(1M)                                             chgnod(1M)



NAME
     chgnod - changes the current A/UX system node name

SYNOPSIS
     chgnod new-nodename [kernel-file]

ARGUMENTS
     kernel-file
          Specifies the name of the kernel that was last booted.
          If you don't specify a kernel-file argument, /unix is
          assumed.

     new-nodename
          Specifies a NULL-terminated string containing the name
          the system is known by on a communications network.
          This argument must not be longer than eight characters;
          longer names are truncated to eight characters.

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

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

     The chgnod command changes the node name of the currently
     running kernel to new-nodename.

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

EXAMPLES
     The following command changes your node name to user10 if
     /unix.current was the last kernel booted.

        chgnod user10 /unix.current
