    create [node node-id] dns clerk

    Creates a dns clerk on the specified node. You can also enter this
    command through the dns$control utility.  This command should not
    normally be executed outside of the DECnet startup procedure.

    You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (OpenVMS
    systems) or superuser privileges (Tru64 Unix systems).

1  –  known_namespace

    create [node node-id] dns clerk -
         known namespace namespace-ident -
         nscts namespace-creation-timestamp

    Adds a namespace to the list of namespaces cached by a
    specified DECdns clerk.  This is useful for defining
    namespaces the clerk does not learn about automatically
    from advertisements on a local area network.  The simple
    name you supply in as the namespace-ident becomes both
    name and nickname.  If the name you supply conflicts with
    an existing name or nickname, this command is rejected.
    You can also enter this command through the dns$contol
    utility.

    You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (OpenVMS
    systems) or superuser privileges (Tru64 Unix systems).

    The following example adds the namespace with the name jns
    and NSCTS value of 08-00-2B-0D-C0-9D-CD-3B-C6-16-EC-3B-94-00
    to the list of namespaces cached by the local clerk:

    create dns clerk known namespace jns -
        NSCTS 08-00-2B-0D-C0-9D-CD-3B-C6-16-EC-3B-94-00

2  –  manual_nameserver

    create [node node-id] dns clerk -
        manual nameserver name tower towerset

    Creates knowledge in the local clerk's cache about a server
    that exists across a wide area network (WAN). It gives the
    clerk the information it needs to contact the server across
    a WAN and cache the other information that the clerk needs
    to communicate with that server.  You can also enter this
    command through the dns$control utility.

    You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (OpenVMS
    systems) or superuser privileges (Tru64 Unix systems).

                            NOTE

    You should not normally enter this command from ncl or
    dns$control. You can use the dns$configure configuration
    program to accomplish what this command does.

    The following example informs the clerk on node
    .mfg.umbriel about the existence of the server nrl:

    create node .mfg.umbriel dns clerk -
      manual nameserver nrl -
      tower {([ DNA_OSInetwork , 49::00-04:AA-00-04-00-6A-11:20 ])}
