        !            22: .I Registerhost
        !            23: should be run as part of the installation of XNS support on a UNIX system.
        !            24: It queries the kernel and user for necessary information, then updates the
        !            25: Clearinghouse on the local network to contain an entry for this UNIX system.
        !            26: The Clearinghouse entry will be used by XNS clients (e.g. XDE Chat, the
        !            27: Cornell Bridge, etc.) to find the address of the UNIX host.
        !            28: .PP
        !            29: If the \fB-\fR option is used, the entry will also be added as a network
        !            30: file service.
        !            31: .PP
        !            32: Before running
        !            33: .I registerhost
        !            34: you must use

        !            38: .I Registerhost
        !            39: first prompts for an XNS user name and password;
        !            40: you must have domain administrator status on the clearinghouse in order to
        !            41: update an entry.
        !            42: It next attempts to determine your XNS address.  This address consists of
        !            43: a net number assigned by Xerox and a processor number which matches the
        !            44: Ethernet address of the interface on your machine.  Note that if you have
        !            45: a UNIX host operating as a gateway with several Ethernet interfaces
        !            46: configured
        !            47: for XNS, all such interfaces must have the same Ethernet address, but must
        !            48: be on different networks, and all must be specified to

        !            58: should determine Ethernet addresses by using ioctl(2) rather than asking
