<P>Defines interfaces that File Server registers in VLDB and Ubik uses for
database server machines
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
<P>The <B>NetInfo</B> file, if present in the <B>/usr/afs/local</B>
directory, defines the following:
<UL>
<P><LI>On a file server machine, the local interfaces that the File Server
(<B>fileserver</B> process) can register in the Volume Location Database
(VLDB) at initialization time
<P><LI>On a database server machine, the local interfaces that the Ubik database
synchronization library uses when communicating with the database server
processes running on other database server machines
</UL>
<P>If the <B>NetInfo</B> file exists when the File Server initializes, the
File Server uses its contents as the basis for a list of interfaces to
register in the VLDB. Otherwise, it uses the list of network interfaces
configured with the operating system. It then removes from the list any
addresses that appear in the <B>/usr/vice/etc/NetRestrict</B> file, if it
exists. The File Server records the resulting list in the
<B>/usr/afs/local/sysid</B> file and registers the interfaces in the
VLDB. The database server processes use a similar procedure when
initializing, to determine which interfaces to use for communication with the
peer processes on other database machines in the cell.
<P>The <B>NetInfo</B> file is in ASCII format. One of the
machine's IP addresses appears on each line, in dotted decimal
format. The order of the addresses is not significant.
<P>To display the File Server interface addresses registered in the VLDB, use
the <B>vos listaddrs</B> command.
