Using UNIX System Commands
Addname
Purpose
The addname utility lets users of Microsoft TCP/IP access resources of a
server on a different TCP/IP network, using a network gateway.
Syntax
addname computername ipaddress
addname computername /delete
addname /load | /save [filename]
where
computername
Is the name of the remote server whose entry you want to add or delete.
Computernames can have as many as 15 characters. These computernames do not
affect the assignment of any local computername or username.
ipaddress
Is the IP address that corresponds to computername. If the computername is
stored in the LMHOSTS file, the new IP address temporarily replaces the existing
IP address.
/delete
Deletes the specified computername from the workstation’s list of current entries
but not from the LMHOSTS file.
/load
Loads a set of entries from the specified file. All current entries are deleted, and
all entries in the specified file are added. If there is not enough room for all new
entries in the file, an error is reported, and no changes are made to the list of
current entries. If you don’t specify a filename, the default LMHOSTS file is
used.
/save
Stores the list of current entries in the specified file. All entries in the file are
overwritten by the current entries. If you don’t specify a filename, the default
LMHOSTS file is used. To delete an entry from the default addname
configuration file, use addname /save after deleting the entry.
