DES Credential Secure RPC Netname

Secure RPC netname. This portion of the credential is used to identify the NIS+ principal. Every Secure RPC netname contains three components:
- Prefix. The prefix is always the word unix.
- Identifier. If the principal is a client user, the ID field is the user's UID. If the principal is a client machine, the ID field is the machine's hostname.
- Domain name. The domain name is the name of the domain that contains the principal's DES credential (in other words, the principal's home domain).

Note –

Remember that an NIS+ principal name always has a trailing dot, and a Secure RPC netname never has a trailing dot.

Principal	Prefix	Identifie	Domain	Example
User	`unix`	UID	Domain containing user's password entry and the DES credential itself	unix.24601@sales.doc.com
machine	`unix`	hostname	The domain name returned by executing the domainname command on that machine	unix.machine7@sales.doc.com
