NAME
      nodename - local source for system name
 


SYNOPSIS
      /etc/nodename"
 


DESCRIPTION
      When a machine is standalone or its IP address is configured
      locally, the /etc/nodename file contains the system name. By
      convention, the system name is  the  same  as  the  hostname
      associated with the IP address of the primary network inter-
      face, for example, hostname.hme0.
 
      If the machine's network configuration is  managed  remotely
      and  delivered  by the DHCP or RPC bootparams protocols, the
      /etc/nodename file is  not  used,  as  the  system  name  is
      delivered by the remote service.
 
      Given a system name value, regardless of source,  the  uname
      utility invoked with the -S option is used to set the system
      name of the running system.
 
 EXAMPLES
      Example 1: Syntax
 
      The syntax for nodename consists of a single line containing
      the system's name. For example, for a system named myhost:
 
      myhost
