This section describes the files you can customize to configure your Internet
environment.
Configuration Files for the Internet Environment
There are several files that come on your system update tape (SUT) that are used for
configuring your internet environment. You need to customize some of these files to
match your own NonStop TCP/IP environment.

Customize the first three files here for your internet:

HOSTS file

RESCONF file

NETWORKS file

PROTOCOL file

SERVICES file

PORTCONF file

The Domain Name Server data files:

DNSBOOT

DNSCACHE

DNSLOCAL

DNSHOSTS

DNSREV

The SMTP configuration file: SMTPCONF
The names of all these files begin with $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP, unless they are installed on
some other subvolume.
These files are standard EDIT type files (file code 101); you can use a text editor such
as EDIT or PS Text Edit (TEDIT) to modify them. Each of these files consists of a
sequence of one-line entries. Lines starting with a pound sign (#) in the Internet
environment and SMTP configuration files listed are comment lines. Comment lines
start with a semicolon (;) in the Domain Name Server (DNS) data files.
Note. Later versions of DNS, based on Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) 9.x, are
available on the NonStop server in the OSS environment. For information about these versions
of DNS, see the DNS Configuration and Management Manual.
