HOSTMANAGER(1M)                                                HOSTMANAGER(1M)



NAME
     HostManager - Host Manager

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaHostCatalog.cdf

DESCRIPTION
     Managers display information about your system and provide access to
     interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your
     system.  For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user
     accounts currently on the system and gives you access to guides like "Add
     a User Account" and "Modify a User Account".

     In the Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
     Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window.

     The Host manager displays the local host list on your system.  Please
     refer to hosts(4) for more information.

GUIDES
     Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
     through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
     tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the
     system.

     A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to
     enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
     using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys).  When the
     user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
     system executes one or more commands to perform the system administration
     task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd.  See addhost(1M)
     and deletehost(1M) for more information.

     Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or
     be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1M)) in
     order to perform the task.

     Add a Host Entry
               This task lets you add a host entry to your local host list,
               that is, the /etc/hosts file.  The privileges needed for this
               task is: Add a Host Entry (addhost(1M)).

     Modify a Host Entry
               This task lets you modify a host entry in your local host list.
               The privileges needed for this task is: Modify a Host Entry
               (addhost(1M)).

     Delete a Host Entry
               This task lets you delete a host entry from your local host
               list.  The privileges needed for this task is: Delete a Host
               Entry (deletehost(1M)).
