MAKEHOSTS(8)MAKEHOSTS(8)NameMAKEHOSTS - make symbolic links to hosts
Syntax
/usr/hosts/MAKEHOSTS
Description
The command creates symbolic links to the command for each of the hosts
as defined in the file. If the file does not exist, then the command
creates the links for each of the hosts listed in the local file. The
resulting symbolic links populate the directory.
The symbolic links are a convenience that allows users to type the name
of a remote host on the network to log into that host. For example,
the following command logs you into a remote host called
# chicago
If you do not create the symbolic links, you must use the command to
log into a remote host. For example, to log into a remote host named
type:
# rlogin chicago
