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. They may prompt for the following information:
sysidnet: network configuration
Machine’s IP address
- Machine’s default locale
- Machine’s console type
- Machine’s host name
sysidnis: NIS/NIS+ client configuration
server in the domain
- Name service choice: NIS+ , NIS , or none
- Machine’s IP subnet mask (if no NIS/NIS+ server can automatically be located on the machine’s sub-network)
- NIS/NIS+ domain name
- Hostname and IP address of an NIS/NIS+
sysidsys: miscellaneous system configuration
Date and time
- Machine’s IP subnet mask (if an NIS/NIS+ server was automatically located on the machine’s sub-network)
- Machine’s time zone
sysidroot: control superuser information
Machine’s root password
sysidconfig: host or platform-specific configuration
- This command controls specification and execution of custom configuration applications which may be specified for a particular host or a particular platform. (See sysidconfig(1M) ).
The sysidtool programs attempt to obtain configuration information from various network services and databases, as set up by the Host Manager function of admintool(1M) . Only when information is missing from these services and databases, do the sysidtool programs prompt the user for the information. However, the user is always prompted for the system’s root password.
The machine’s configuration information is set up in its /etc and /var files.
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 configured manually.
