EEPROM
- EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is the component
of the NVRAM , that stores a number of system configuration parameters.
Encoding
- Encoding data by using the uuencode command converts a binary file
into an ASCII-encoded representation of the data that can be sent using email.
Encoding a binary file ensures that data is not corrupted during transport.
Encrypted
- Encryption is used to protect account passwords, data, and other pieces of
information. When a password is encrypted, it appears as a series of numerals
and upper- and lowercase letters unrelated to the actual password. This means
that no one, not even the superuser can read the password; only the system can
read the special code.
End-User Configuration Cluster
- The end-user configuration contains the software a user typically needs to
run the Solaris 2.x environment. It includes the OpenWindows Version 3.x
software but not the man pages.
Entire Distribution Configuration Cluster
- The entire distribution configuration contains the entire Solaris 2.x
release. Some software packages are platform dependent and can only be installed
on the corresponding platform.
Entire Distribution Configuration
Plus
- This configuration contains the entire Solaris 2.x release and the
software to support SPARC(TM) original equipment manufacturer (OEM) platforms.
Entry Mode
- When using vi, the entry mode is the mode in which you can type
text. To enter text, you must type an vi insert command such as i,
o, or a. This takes vi out of command mode and
puts it into entry mode. In this mode, text will not be interpreted
literally and becomes part of the document. When you finish entering text in
your file, press the Escape key to return to command mode.
Environment Variables
- Environment variables are system-defined or user-defined variables that
provide information about the operating environment to the shell. These
variables are defined in the $HOME/.profile file (Bourne shell)
or the $HOME/.login file (C shell). They are read each time you
login to the system.
Ethernet
- Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) that employs a bus topology (all of
the workstations are connected to a single physical medium). It is a broadcast
network, which means that all of the workstations on the network receive all
transmissions.
Ethernet Address
- The Ethernet address is the physical address of an individual Ethernet
controller board. It is called the hardware address or media access control
(MAC) address. The Ethernet address of every Sun(TM) Workstation(TM) is unique
and coded into a chip on the motherboard. Additional Ethernet interfaces are
assigned different Ethernet addresses.
Ethernet MAC Address
- The physical address also known as the media access controller (MAC) or
ethernet address. An ethernet address is a unique hardware address. It is 48
bits long. An example of a complete ethernet address is 8:0:20:le:56:7:d.
Executable
- An executable is a file that can be executed by the system. An executable may
contain command text, as in the case of a shell script, or binary instructions.
Examples of executables include applications and programs.
