- /etc/spritehosts - file containing Sprite host information
-
- DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
- The file //eettcc//sspprriitteehhoossttss is used to keep host information
- for hosts in the Sprite network. It contains the following
- fields:
-
- spriteID A small integer used to identify the host
- internally.
-
- netType The type of the physical network for the fol-
- lowing nneettAAddddrr field.
-
- netAddr The physical network address of the host.
-
- inetAddr The Internet address of the host.
-
- machType The machine type of the host. This string
- will be substituted for occurrences of
- $$MMAACCHHIINNEE that occur in pathnames opened by
- this host.
-
- name The official Internet name of this host.
-
- aliases Zero or more aliases, typically shorter than
- the official Internet name.
-
- This file is read during startup by the nneettrroouuttee program to
- initialize the kernel's internal route table. Actually,
- routing will be done successfully without this initializa-
- tion. However, the initialization is needed on servers so
- they know the machine type of their clients. Also, error
- messages from the kernel will use the host name instead of
- the spriteID if the initialization has been done.
