    "What is the full name of this node?"

    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 include:

    LOCAL:.TomThumb
    vbo:.afsg.comms.werner
    XYZ_CORP:.sales.west_coast.WillyLoman
    Europe:.Erin.County_Cork.Bantry.Glengarriff_Road.MACotter

    The namespace nickname is terminated with a colon (:). If no
    namespace nickname is given or if the namespace nickname "LOCAL"
    is used, then 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.

    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.
