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

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.
