NAME
setup - update filer configuration
SYNOPSIS
setup
DESCRIPTION
setup queries the user for the filer configuration parameters such as hostname,
IP address, and timezone. It installs new versions of /etc/rc, /etc/hosts, /etc/
exports, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts.equiv, and /etc/dgateways to reflect the
new configuration. When setup completes, the configuration files have been
updated, but their new contents do not take effect until the filer is rebooted (see
reboot). The old contents of the configuration files are saved in rc.bak,
exports.bak, resolv.conf.bak, hosts.bak, hosts.equiv.bak, and
dgateways.bak.
One piece of information that setup requests is the name and IP address for
adminhost. In /etc/exports, adminhost is granted root access to / so that it can
access and modify the configuration files in /etc. All other NFS clients are
granted access only to /home. If no adminhost is specified, then all clients are
granted root access to /. This is not recommended for sites where security is a
concern.
If an adminhost is specified, then an additional line is added to the /etc/hosts file
to point the default mailhost to the adminhost.
If a default gateway is provided to setup, it will be used in /etc/rc to specify a
default route (see route), and will also be used as the first entry in /etc/
dgateways.
The hostname that is provided to setup is used to construct default names for all
of the configured network interfaces. Ethernet interfaces are given names host-
name-0, hostname-1, and so on.
