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.
