Appendix A Mac OS X Server Worksheet 57
Host name You can’t specify this name during server setup.
Server Assistant sets the host name to
AUTOMATIC in /etc/hostconfig. This setting
causes the server’s host name to be the first
name that’s true in this list:
- The name provided by the DHCP or BootP
server for the primary IP address
- The first name returned by a reverse DNS
(address-to-name) query for the primary IP
address
- The local hostname
- The name “localhost”
Computer name The AppleTalk name and the default name used
for SLP/DA. Specify a name 63 characters or fewer
but avoid using =, :, or @.
The Network browser in the Finder uses SMB/CIFS
to find computers that provide Windows file
sharing. Spaces are removed from a computer
name for use with SMB/CIFS, and the name can
contain no more than 15 characters, no special
characters, and no punctuation.
Local hostname The name that designates a computer on a local
subnet. It can contain lower-case letters,
numbers, and/or hyphens (but not at the ends).
The name ends with “.local” and must be unique
on a local subnet.
Network interface
data
Your server has a built-in Ethernet port and may
have an additional Ethernet port built in or added
on. Record information for each port you want to
activate.
Use the table provided
later in this worksheet to
record data for each port.
Directory usage Select one:
- Standalone Server (use only the local directory).
- Connected to a Directory System (get
information from another server’s shared
directory). If you choose this option, use one of
the next four rows in this table to indicate how
the server will connect with the directory.
- Open Directory Master (provide directory
information to other computers). If you choose
this option, use the row for “Using Open Directory
Master.”
- No change (for upgrades only).
Using “As Specified
by DHCP Server”
The directory to use will be identified by a DHCP
server set up to provide the address and search
base of an LDAP server (DHCP option 95) or the
address and tag of a legacy NetInfo server.
