 NAME
   add entry - Adds a name service entry to the name service database

 SYNOPSIS

   rpccp add entry  entry-name [-s syntax]

 OPTIONS

   -s        Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional).
             The only value for this option is the dce name syntax,
             which is the default name syntax. Until an alternative
             name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option
             is unnecessary.

 ARGUMENTS

   entry-name
             Specifies the name of the target name service entry.  For
             an entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and
             specify only the cell-relative name.

 DESCRIPTION
   The add entry command adds an unspecialized entry to the name service
   database.  The name of the entry is required.

   The new entry initially contains no NSI attributes.  This command
   creates a general name service entry for an application or user.
   The application or user can later use the export, add element, and
   add member commands to make the generic entry into a server entry,
   a group, or a profile (or a combination), as follows:

     +  For a server entry, specify the new entry as the target entry
        for the rpccp export command.

     +  For a group, specify the new entry as the target group for the
        rpccp add member command.

     +  For a profile, specify the new entry as the target profile for
        the rpccp add element command.

   The add entry command enables administrators to add entries for users
   who lack the required permissions.  If you have the permissions
   required by the add entry command, you can also add an entry using an
   export, add member, or add element command; if the entry you specify
   does not exist, the command creates the entry.

   Privilege Required

   To add an entry, you need insert permission to the parent directory
   and both read permission and write permission to the CDS object entry
   (the target name service entry).

 NOTE
   This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
   not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLES
   The following commands start RPCCP and add an unspecialized entry to
   the name service database:

        $ rpccp
        rpccp> add entry  \
        > /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2

   The following command operates from the system prompt to add an
   unspecialized entry to the name service database:

        $ rpccp add entry  \
        > /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_3
