Syntax Rules for the sysidcfg File

You can use two types of keywords in the sysidcfg file: independent and dependent. Dependent keywords are guaranteed to be unique only within independent keywords. A dependent keyword exists only when it is identified with its associated independent keyword.

Syntax Rule 

Example 

Independent keywords can be listed in any order. 


pointer=MS-S
display=ati {size=15-inch}

Keywords are not case-sensitive. 


TIMEZONE=US/Central
terminal=sun-cmd

Enclose all dependent keywords in braces ({}) to tie them to their associated independent keyword. 


name_service=NIS 
       {domain_name=marquee.central.example.com}

You can optionally enclose values in single (`) or double quotation marks (“). 


network_interface='none'
