    "Enter the full name for directory service {DECDNS,LOCAL}"
    "Enter the fully qualified host name"

    Enter a node name for each directory service chosen.

    For the directory service Domain, you will enter a fully qualified
    host name.  The fully qualified host name includes the host name and
    the domain name. For example:

       Domain      -  smilee.lkg.dec.com

    For the directory services DECdns and Local file, you will enter a node
    full name.  The node full name is the name of your system's node object
    in the directory service.  It includes the namespace nickname, and the
    full list of directories leading to the node object name.  Examples of
    node full names for the directory services DECdns and Local file include:

       Local file  -  LOCAL:.TomThumb
       DECdns      -  XYZ_CORP:.sales.west_coast.WillyLoman

    For the Local file, the namespace nickname LOCAL is prepended to the
    full name and is terminated with a colon (:).  The namespace nickname
    "LOCAL" means that the Local file is used.  The node object name must
    begin with  a dot (.), and no  element of the name  (namespace name,
    directory, or node object name) can be a null string.  Please note that
    the namespace  nickname "LOCAL" is  reserved, and indicates that the
    Local file will be used on this system.

    The Local file has the capability to hold 100,000 nodes, and it can even
    scale beyond that number.  The actual number of nodes that the Local file
    can hold depends on the space available on your system.

    Enter the node full name you want to use. DECnet-Plus node full names
    should be planned carefully and must be unique within the directory
    service.  If your network administrator has not assigned a unique
    node full name for your system, be sure that you read DECnet-Plus
    for OpenVMS Introduction, Planning, and Glossary before you do so.
    This manual also contains guidelines for using the directory services
    DECdns and the Local File.
