setuname(1M)

NAME

     setuname - change machine information

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

     The setuname utility changes the  parameter  value  for  the
     system  name  and  node  name. Each parameter can be changed
     using setuname and the  appropriate option.

     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.

OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -n node
           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.

     -s name
           Changes the system name. name  specifies  new   system
           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.

NOTES

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