  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. copynodes will copy the executor information already there
  into the new file.

  The node name can also be a node address if you don't have any nodes defined in 
  your existing decnet.conf.
  .SH EXAMPLE
! # copynodes 3.34 > /etc/decnet.conf

+ DO NOT attempt to redirect the output of 
+ .B copynodes 
+ 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)
  .SH EXAMPLE
! # copynodes 3.34 > /tmp/decnet.conf

! # mv /tmp/decnet.conf /etc
