     SYSTEMID(M)	      XENIX System V		   SYSTEMID(M)

     Name
	  systemid - The Micnet system identification file.

     Description
	  The systemid file contains the machine and site names for a
	  system in a Micnet network.  A machine name identifies a
	  system and distinguishes it from other systems in the same
	  network.  A site name identifies the network to which a
	  system belongs and distinguishes the network from other
	  networks in the same chain.

	  The systemid file may contain a site name and up to four
	  different machine names. The file has the form:

	       [site-name]
	       [machine-name1]
	       [machine-name2]
	       [machine-name3]
	       [machine-name4]

	  The file must contain at least one machine name. The other
	  machine names are optional, serving as alternate names for
	  the same machine.  The file must contain a site name if more
	  than one machine name is given or if the network is
	  connected to another through a uucp link.  The site name,
	  when given, must be on the first line.

	  Each name can have up to eight letters and numbers but must
	  always begin with a letter.  There is never more than one
	  name to a line.  A line beginning with a pound sign (#) is
	  considered a comment line and is ignored.

	  The Micnet network requires one systemid file on each system
	  in a network with each file containing a unique set of
	  machine names.  If the network is connected to another
	  network through a uucp link, each file in the network must
	  contain the same site name.

	  The systemid file is used primarily during resolution of
	  aliases.  When aliases contain site and/or machine names,
	  the name is compared with the names in the file and removed
	  if there is a match. If there is no match, the alias (and
	  associated message, file, or command) is passed on to the
	  specified site or machine for further processing.
