To Edit the Tnrhdb Database

1. Open the Tnrhdb database in the Database Manager using no naming service.

   See "To Open and Modify a Solstice_Apps Database" if you are unfamiliar with the steps.

2. Use the IP address fallback mechanism to assign one template to all hosts on your Trusted Solaris 7 subnet.

   1. Enter the subnet IP address and the template name.

      For example, enter 129.150.110.0 and tsol. The final zero signifies a subnet address; all hosts on that subnet are recognized as tsol hosts.

   2. For any exceptions on the subnet, enter the exception's IP address and its correct template.

      For example, 129.150.110.3 and unlab. This host on the subnet is an unlabeled host, an exception to the tsol fallback entry.

3. Hint: To more easily copy the IP addresses from your Hosts database, open the /etc/hosts file in the Admin Editor. You can then copy and paste the IP addresses from the editor to the tnrhdb.

4. Enter the IP address of every host in your /etc/defaultrouter or /etc/tsolgateways file, and assign to each an appropriate template name.

5. Enter the details of other subnets and hosts.

   1. Enter the fallback designation of each subnet and an appropriate template name for the subnet.

   2. Individually assign a different template to any host that is an exception to its subnet's assigned template.

      Use the details provided by your system administrator, then choose the appropriate template name from the menu. See Table 1-2 for host types and their associated templates provided by Trusted Solaris.

6. Exit the Tnrhdb database when the entries are complete.

7. Close the /etc/hosts file if you used it for copying IP addresses.
