dncopynodes - copy a list of nodes from a remote DEC system

       This  program  will generate a decnet.conf file by contacting a remote DECnet host (running VMS or RSX-11
       probably) and doing the equivalent of "NCP COPY KNOWN NODES". The resulting file can be copied  over  the
       existing decnet.conf file if you like.
       You  do  need  a  fully-functioning  DECnet system before using this command but you don't need any nodes
       other than the executor defined in decnet.conf.  dncopynodes will copy the executor  information  already
       there into the new file.
       The  program  copies  its output to standard output. It is strongly recommended that you review it before
       replacing an existing /etc/decnet.conf file.
       The node name can also be a  node  address  if  you  don't  have  any  nodes  defined  in  your  existing
       decnet.conf.
       DO  NOT  attempt  to  redirect the output of dncopynodes directly into /etc/decnet.conf. It will fail and
       destroy your existing configuration file! Send it to a temporary file and then copy it (see EXAMPLES)
       dncopynodes can also create an LDIF file suitable for importing into an LDAP database. With dnprogs  2.48
       or later, DECnet programs can quiry this for node address information.

       # dncopynodes 3.34 > /tmp/decnet.conf
       # dncopynodes 3.34 dc=example,dc=com > /tmp/decnet.ldif
       # mv /tmp/decnet.conf /etc
