How to Create Namespace Contexts Under Local Files

When your primary enterprise-level name service is files-based, namespace contexts are created for the system.

• The /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts files on the machine where the /var/fn directory resides must be clean and fully populated.

• The fncreate command must be run by root on the machine where the /var/fn directory resides.

For example, to create the contexts for the system:

On the machine hosting the /var/fn directory, run fncreate, as shown below:

server1# fncreate -t org org//

This creates the organization context for the system and contexts and associated subcontexts for all users found in machine's /etc/passwd file, and all hosts found in the machine's /etc/hosts file.
