   $ /usr/bin/solstice

3. Click on the Host Manager icon.

   

   The Host Manager Select Naming Service window is displayed. If you are using a name service, it shows the server's domain name, or if you are using local files, the system name is displayed.

   Note -

   You should choose the appropriate name service based on your site policy. For more information on setting up a name service policy, see Chapter 3, Using Solstice AutoClient in a Name Service Environment. If you choose NIS or NIS+ as your Naming Service, and then type a different domain name in the Domain field, the system you are running Host Manager on needs to have permission to access the specified domain.
