DNCOPYNODES(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    DNCOPYNODES(8)

NAME

       dncopynodes - copy a list of nodes from a remote DEC system

SYNOPSIS

       dncopynodes <nodename> [ldif-dn]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program will generate a decnet.conf file by contacting a remote DECnet host (running VMS or RSX-11 probably) and doing the equivalent
       of "NCP COPY KNOWN NODES". The resulting file can be copied over the existing decnet.conf file if you like.
       You do need a fully-functioning DECnet system before using this command but you don't need any nodes other than	the  executor  defined	in
       decnet.conf.  dncopynodes will copy the executor information already there into the new file.
       The  program  copies  its  output  to standard output. It is strongly recommended that you review it before replacing an existing /etc/dec-
       net.conf file.
       The node name can also be a node address if you don't have any nodes defined in your existing decnet.conf.
       DO NOT attempt to redirect the output of dncopynodes directly into /etc/decnet.conf. It will fail and destroy your  existing  configuration
       file! Send it to a temporary file and then copy it (see EXAMPLES)
       dncopynodes  can  also  create  an  LDIF file suitable for importing into an LDAP database. With dnprogs 2.48 or later, DECnet programs can
       quiry this for node address information.

EXAMPLE

       # dncopynodes 3.34 > /tmp/decnet.conf
       # dncopynodes 3.34 dc=example,dc=com > /tmp/decnet.ldif
       # mv /tmp/decnet.conf /etc

NAME

       getnodeadd - DECnet address of executor node

SYNOPSIS

       #include <netdnet/dn.h>
       #include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>

       struct dn_naddr *getnodeadd (void)

DESCRIPTION

       getnodeadd searches the decnet hosts file for the executor node and returns the DECnet address in the dn_naddr structure
       If no entry is found, returns NULL

EXAMPLE

       #include <netdnet/dn.h>
       #include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       main(void)
       {
	   struct dn_naddr	*binaddr;

	   if ( (binaddr=getnodeadd()) == NULL)
	       printf("Error, cannot find executor node address");
	   else
	       printf("getnodeadd successfully got executor node address");
       }
