NMAPMGR(1M) NQS MAINTENANCE COMMAND NMAPMGR(1M) NAME nmapmgr - NQS machine-id mapping manager program SYNOPSIS /usr/lib/nqs/utility/nmapmgr DESCRIPTION Nmapmgr is a program used of the System Administrator by mapping control and configure. This mapping can be per- formed by either mapping the host-name on all network machines and machine-id, the host-name and user-id to the proper account, and specify the protocol at transfering the batch request. Nmapmgr command information see the section entitled: COMMAND DESCRIPTION. Nmapmgr starts and output prompt: "NMAPMGR>:". Nmapmgr end with Exit, Quit or ^D. Nmapmgr can be started up by the System Administrator. The machines in connection with the UNIX netwrok have the case that have often some host-names. The definition must be defined in the service of names such as in /etc/hosts and DNS and be referred to by gethostent(3N). NQS refers the host-name in these by gethostent(3N) . And NQS needed means that it be able to confirm of same machine, even though the entries get by gethostent(3N) are separate. In order to a void trying useless transaction the batch request to remote machine. To do this, it was create the notion of a machine-id, a number that uniquely identifies a client machine, irrespec- tive of the path used to conduct the network conversation. An additional machine mapping mechanism with machine-id was created to map different client host addresses to a single unique machine-id. NQS need machine mapping, even though only used at the local machine (machine has nothing network conversation). The NQS batch requests move on network. For this cause, when be carried into exectution transfer batch request, an account mapping must be performed so that the network server at the remote machine can take on the proper identity attri- butes. This mapping is performed for all network conversa- tions. In particular, the transport of a batch request requires that the ownership of the request be adjusted as appropriate, since the user-id of the request owner is not necessarily the same on all machines. This mapping can two kinds of means. You can map by useing host-name and user-id or host-name and login name. You can select to mapping by network system environment to yourself.
