NAME HostManager - Host Manager SYNOPSIS /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaHostCatalog.cdf DESCRIPTION Managers display information about your system and provide access to interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your system. For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user accounts currently on the system and gives you access to guides like "Add a User Account" and "Modify a User Account". In the Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window. The Host manager displays the local host list on your system. Please refer to hosts(4) for more information. GUIDES Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users through the steps necessary to perform various system administration tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the system. A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys). When the user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the system executes one or more commands to perform the system administration task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd. See addhost(1M) and deletehost(1M) for more information. Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1M)) in order to perform the task. Add a Host Entry This task lets you add a host entry to your local host list, that is, the /etc/hosts file. The privileges needed for this task is: Add a Host Entry (addhost(1M)). Modify a Host Entry This task lets you modify a host entry in your local host list. The privileges needed for this task is: Modify a Host Entry (addhost(1M)). Delete a Host Entry This task lets you delete a host entry from your local host list. The privileges needed for this task is: Delete a Host Entry (deletehost(1M)).
