Networking facilities

Step 1: set up network selection

Network selection consists of the following elements:

netconfig, a network configuration file (see netconfig(4bnu))
NETPATH, an environment variable

To set up network selection, you need to create an entry in the netconfig file for each network available to the local system.

Any user, including the administrator, may use the NETPATH variable to modify the default order in which networks are tried by an application seeking a network connection. If a user does not set the NETPATH variable, networks are used in the order specified in netconfig.

For more information see ``Administering network selection''.
