Configure Authentications

This file already has the various commands in place, but they are commented out. Edit your /etc/module.conf as appropriate. Remove the '#' from one of the four options lines above, and then reload the NIC driver.

alias eth0 eepro100 alias char-major-72 exser alias char-major-4 off options -k exser

##

##options to control NIC speed and mode

##remove the leading '#' from ONE of the options lines below

### 100Mbit half-duplex #options eepro100 options=0x20

### 100Mbit full-duplex #options eepro100 options=0x30

### 10Mbit half-duplex #options eepro100 options=0x40

### 10Mbit half-duplex #options eepro100 options=0x50

The SCS system should be power cycled (using poweroff, not reboot). The power- off is done to convince whatever switch the NIC is connected to, that it is indeed off.

7.6 Configure Authentications

Use authconfig to set up the authentication protocols (e.g., ssh). Refer to the man page nscd for configuration options.

The first checkbox, cache information , will start the nscd daemon if selected. This is not required for normal operation and need not be selected.

Other aspects of the authentication options in authconfig are self-prompting for parameters for NIS, LDAP and/or Hesiod.

Remember to run save when done to keep your new values.

7.7 Front Panel Display Options

The front panel Display is a two line, 24 character backlit LCD. It shows system messages during certain system events (e.g., network restart, poweroff), but most of the time is idle and shows a ‘normal’ display.

The LCD Display offers several ‘normal’ display features. The default display

shows the Hostname on the top line, and the Date/Time on the lower line. The display can be customized, if desired, to show other information in the top line or the bottom line, or both. This might be useful to provide method of labeling each SCS in a rack with multiple units installed. The normal display can also be turned off.
