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.
In this example, name_service is the independent keyword, while domain_name and name_server are the dependent keywords:
name_service=NIS {domain_name=marquee.central.example.com name_server=connor(192.168.112.3)} |
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 curly braces ({}) to tie them to their associated independent keyword. |
name_service=NIS {domain_name=marquee.central.example.com name_server=connor(192.168.112.3)} |
You can optionally enclosed values in single (`) or double quotes (“). |
network_interface='none' |
For all keywords except the network_interface keyword, only one instance of a keyword is valid. However, if you specify the keyword more than once, only the first instance of the keyword is used. |
name_service=NIS name_service=DNS |
