Hello:-) I have been asked to put an AT&T PC7300 on our network. However, it has the uname UNIX. This just won't do. I do know know how to change it on this system. uname -S doesn't work. Thank you, James D. Corder ...osu-cis!alix!jdc ...att!osu-cis!alix!jdc alix!jdc@cis.ohio-state.edu

In /etc/rc, you'll find the line if [ -s /etc/namesys ]; then /etc/namesys; fi which turns out to be: setuname -n <system-name> so you must edit it to change <system-name> to be what you want. The ADMINISTRATION menus in the UA window system automate this procedure. -- ,u, Bruce Becker Toronto, Ontario a /i/ Internet: bdb@becker.UUCP, bruce@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu `\o\-e UUCP: ...!uunet!mnetor!becker!bdb _< /_ "I still have my phil-os-o-phy" - Meredith Monk

Mine are on two networks, and there ARE differences. Re: AT&T StarLAN, my /etc/namesys contains: /usr/net/netname -n thadlabs Re: WIN/3B Ethernet, the operative program appears to be /usr/bin/hostname, which DOES check the existing utsname because: $ hostname -? Warning does not match utsname->thadlabs sethostname: Not owner And, of course, there are the additional names tucked away in places such as /etc/hosts, etc. I suggest following the installation instructions accompanying whatever network software/hardware combination is being installed.
