SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : General Information :
What is a nodename? What is a hostname? |
A nodename or a hostname is a computer's name. Computers are given names these days, so that they can be easily distinguished from one another in a network environment. A nodename is a single word, eight characters or less, in lower case, that begins with a letter. For the name to be compatible with uucp, keep the name seven characters or less. Common names for people's computers are types of trees, countries, and names of their favorite Sci-Fi characters. eg. the hosts used in some SCO documents: tortola
redwood
luke
sales1
<mschalit@pacbell.net>
