You'll need privileged access to the VMS box to do this (that's usually the
SYSTEM account).

The commands are

$ MCR NCP DEF NODE <number> NAME <name>
$ MCR NCP SET NODE <number> NAME <name>

eg If your Linux box is node 1.10 and called LINUX then type in:

$ MCR NCP DEF NODE 1.10 NAME LINUX
$ MCR NCP SET NODE 1.10 NAME LINUX


The first command writes it to the permanent database (so it happens on a
reboot), the second updates the volatile database (that currently in memory).
