4.2.7 Duplicating a User Name
A System Administrator can duplicate a UserName that is already registered by entering the following command:
aname reg -d -u UserName
This command can be used to associate an existing user name with resources on local systems and those resources
on remote systems. This enables a remote user to request any of the resources on the local node by using a single
user name. The
ANAMED
provider program then determines which LU handles requests for the resource.
4.2.8 Wildcards
Because some HP-UX shells do wildcard expansion on the command line, it is important to remember to put
quotation marks (") around wildcard commands. The following set of wildcards is recognized by
ANAME:
Full wildcard
Use the asterisk (*) to view or delete all records in a particular field. For example, -u "*" indicates all user
names.
Partial wildcard
Use the asterisk (*) following a value to indicate that you want to view or delete all the values that contain
the characters you specify. For example, -u"J*" indicates all the values that begin with the letter “J”.
Placeholder wildcard
Use the question mark (?) to indicate a placeholder. A question mark between characters causes a search on
the specified characters and any unspecified character that falls in between. For example, -u"J??n" would
match values such as “John”, “Jean”, and “Joan”.
