Conventions
Command line examples that require system administrator (or root) privileges to execute are preceded by the system administrator prompt, the hash sign (#). Entries that do not require system administrator rights are preceded by a dollar sign ($).
In some examples, the notation node# indicates a root prompt on the specified node. For example, a command preceded by fuji3# would mean that the command was run as user root on the node named fuji3.
Keystrokes that represent nonprintable characters are displayed as key icons such as [Enter] or [F1]. For example, [Enter] means press the key labeled Enter; [Ctrl-b] means hold down the key labeled Ctrl or Control and then press the [B] key.
The following typefaces highlight specific elements in this manual.
