DESCRIPTION

13       The  setuname  utility  changes the parameter value for the system name
14       and node name. Each parameter can be changed  using  setuname  and  the
15       appropriate option.

18       Either  or both the -s and -n options must be given when invoking setu‐
19       name.

21
22       The system architecture may place requirements on the size of the  sys‐
23       tem  and network node name. The command will issue a fatal warning mes‐
24       sage and an error message if the name entered is incompatible with  the
25       system requirements.

NOTES

60       setuname attempts to change the parameter values  in  two  places:  the
61       running  kernel  and,  as necessary per implementation, to cross system
62       reboots. A temporary change changes only the running kernel.
