HP X1100 setting up network authorization parameters

Linux system setup and recovery

configuring your Linux workstation

setting up network authorization parameters

After typing your workstation’s IP Address, Hostname, network Gateway, Netmask addresses and the Domain Name in the appropriate spaces, click on the tab “Authorization Parameters.”

Here is where you enable Network Information Service (NIS), set up its parameters and other authentication parameters. If you choose to enable NIS, you will need to enter its domain name (see your network admin for more help), and optionally enter its server IP address or request it via broadcast.

Check the “Use Shadow Passwords” and “Enable MD5 Passwords” boxes if appropriate. Once you have completed setting the functionality for this tab, you can go to the next tab.

CAUTIONDo not click on the Save button until you have setup all workstation functionality as this will exit you from the Linux Setup Tool.

Click “Cancel” if you want to skip this step.
