.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.IX "bootparamd daemon" "" "\fLbootparamd\fP daemon"
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B bootparamd
|
|
is a server process that provides information to diskless clients
|
|
necessary for booting. It consults
|
|
.B /etc/bootparams
|
|
file.
|
|
.LP
|
|
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the
|
|
.B /etc/bootparams
|
|
file. The returned hostname to the whoami request done by the booting client
|
|
will be the name that appears in
|
|
.B /etc/bootparams
|
|
and not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short enough
|
|
so that machines that can not handle long hostnames won't fail during boot.
|
|
