DESCRIPTION
      sysidtool is a suite of five programs that configure  a  new
      system,   or  one  that  has  been  unconfigured  with  sys-
      unconfig(1M). The sysidtool programs  run  automatically  at
      system  installation,  or  during  the  first  boot  after a
      machine has been successfully unconfigured.
 
      These programs have no effect  except  at  such  times,  and
      should never be run manually.
 
      The sysidtool programs set up the appropriate information in
      the machine's configuration files, in the kernel, and on the
      machine's network interface. The following  list  shows  the
      available commands and the information for which each of the
      commands lists.
 
      sysidnet: network configuration
            Machine's  default  locale.  Machine's  console  type.
            Machine's host name. Machine's IP address.
 
      sysidns:  Name Service configuration
            Name service choice: NIS, NIS+, DNS,  LDAP,  or  none.
            Machine's  IP  subnet  mask (if no NIS/NIS+ server can
            automatically be located on the machine's sub-network.
            Domain  name  for chosen name service. Hostname and IP
            address of name server(s). DNS search list   DNS( name
            service only)
 
      sysidsys: miscellaneous system configuration
            Machine's IP subnet mask (if an  NIS/NIS+  server  was
            automatically  located  on the machine's sub-network).
            Machine's time zone. Date and time.
 
      sysidroot: control superuser information
            Machine's root password.
 
      sysidpm: Power Management configuration

 Maintenance Commands                                sysidtool(1M)
 
 
 
            Auto-shutdown   confirmation   if   the    system   is
            Energystar-V2  compliant,  that is, a new system model
            shipped after October 1, 1995.
 
      sysidconfig: host or platform-specific configuration
            This command controls specification and  execution  of
            custom  configuration applications that may  be speci-
            fied for a particular host or a  particular  platform.
            Seesysidconfig(1M).
 
      The sysidtool programs attempt to obtain  system  configura-
      tion  information  from  various name service databases (for
      example, NIS) or from the  sysidcfg(4)  file,  and  you  are
      prompted  to  provide the information if it cannot be found.
      However, you can avoid one or more of the prompts by precon-
      figuring   the  appropriate configuration information in the
      name service databases  or in the sysidcfg(4) file.
 
      To preconfigure the information in the  name  service  data-
      bases,  you  must  use the name service commands or the Sol-
      stice AdminSuite tools. See Solaris 8 Advanced  Installation
      Guide  for more details about how to preconfigure the system
      configuration information.
 
      The machine's configuration information is  set  up  in  its
      /etc and /var files.

NOTES
      If a system has more than one network interface, you can use
      sysidtool  to  configure  only  the primary interface on the
      system. All other interfaces on the system must  be  config-
      ured manually.
 
      You cannot use the name service databases or the sysidcfg(4)
      file  to suppress the Power Management configuration prompt;
      however,  you  can  suppress  it  by  creating  either   the
      /autoshutdown  or  /noautoshutdown  file before installation
      reboot. Accordingly, the auto-shutdown feature  is  silently
      configured.  The  /autoshutdown or /noautoshutdown files are
      removed by sysidpm before it exits.
