Before installing a new workstation, contact the UCS DNS adminstrator the local Network Administrator to receive an Internet Address to the workstation. A text hostname can also be added at this time. The hostname of a workstation should be greater than two characters.
Some groups have a similar naming convention for machines, such as the trees or vegetables.
So a FQDN for the machine will be tomato.chem.indiana.edu. It is important that Unix machines be added to DNS to be fully functional. The machines which provide DNS are reloaded once a night but it is recommended you contact the DNS Administrator at least one day in advance of installation of your workstation.
