setuname(1M)                     DG/UX R4.11                    setuname(1M)


NAME
       setuname - changes machine information

SYNOPSIS
       setuname [-s name] [-n node] [-t]

DESCRIPTION
       setuname changes the parameter value for the system name and node
       name.  Each parameter can be changed using setuname and the
       appropriate option.  Only a user with appropriate privilege can use
       setuname.

       For systems supporting the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate
       privilege is defined as having one or more specific capabilities
       enabled in the effective capability set of the user.  See
       capdefaults(5) for the default capabilities for this command.

       On systems without the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate privilege
       means that your process has an effective UID of root.  See the
       appropriateprivilege(5) man page for more information.

       The options and arguments for this command are:


       -s     Changes the system name.  name specifies new system name and
              can consist of alphanumeric characters and the special
              characters dash, underbar, and dollar sign.

       -n     Changes the node name.  node specifies the new network node
              name and can consist of alphanumeric characters and the
              special characters dash, underbar, and dollar sign.

       -t     Temporary change.  No attempt will be made to create a
              permanent change.

       Either or both the -s and -n options must be given when invoking
       setuname.

       The system architecture may place requirements on the size of the
       system and network node name.  The command will issue a fatal warning
       message and an error message if the name entered is incompatible with
       the system requirements.

NOTES
       setuname attempts to change the parameter values in two places: the
       running kernel and, as necessary per implementation, to cross system
       reboots.  A temporary change changes only the running kernel.
