Q: SysName of MIBII

[Frank Fock]

Hi Manju,

I think sysName should be hostname + domain name,
but the user is free to use any other string which she
thinks describes the name of the system best.

The sysName object is just descriptive, no actions should
take place if the object is set.

If you need functionality like setting the hosts name, you
will have to define and implement an enterprise specific
object.

Best regards,
Frank
