The following Figure shows a profile in the AliasDB and NETUsers
files. Both the client and server are HP-UX systems.
Note that the NETUtil commands have varying user restrictions. Refer
to the chapter "NETUtil Reference" for complete information.
To create the sample AliasDB file on the client and add the
information shown, you would do the following:
Invoke NETUtil on the client.
Type ADD ALIAS at the NETUtil prompt. Then reply
to the prompts.
Alias Name: InventoryDB
Database Server Type: ALLBASE/SQL
DBEnvironment Name on Server: /mnt/mfg/inventorydb
Server Node Name: serversystem
Machine Type: hp9000 s800
Datacomm Type: arpa
Profile added.

The ADD ALIAS command creates the AliasDB file and adds your alias profile
to it.
Type SHOW ALIAS to check the alias profile in
the AliasDB file:
Alias Name: InventoryDB
Alias Name: InventoryDB
Database Server Type: ALLBASE/SQL
DBEnvironment Name on Server: /mnt/mfg/inventorydb
Server Node Name: serversystem
Machine Type: HP9000 S800
Datacomm Type: ARPA

Similarly, to create the above NETUsers file on the server and
add the information shown in Figure 2-1 “Sample Profiles in AliasDB and NETUsers Files”
, you would do the following:
Invoke NETUtil on the server.
Type ADD USER at the NETUtil prompt. Then reply to the prompts with the necessary data for your user profile:
Client Node Name: clientsystem
Client Login Name: glen
Server Login Name: glen
Profile added.
netutil=>

The ADD USER command creates the NETUsers file (if necessary) and adds a user profile to it.
Type SHOW USER to check the user profile in the NETUsers file:
Client Node Name: clientsystem
Client Login Name: glen
Client Node Name: clientsystem
Client Login Name: glen
Server Login Name: glen
netutil=>

Add the server login name to the /etc/passwd file on the server:
$ vi /etc/passwd
root:SuIeof1mj31A4:0:1:Root at horse:/:/bin/sh
bicca:25Fnph4JsBXng:5:1:Leigh Bicca 49u,77033:/mnt/admin/bicca:/bin/csh
.
.
.
glen:*:100:10:/mnt/mfg:/bin/csh
.
.

Remember to put an asterisk (*) in the password field so that another user named glen cannot use the remote login (rlogin) to access files on the server.
