HP ProLiant DL380 Server - Manual (Page 7)

Configuring the Server
Determine the following configuration settings when prompted. If you are not
familiar with the configuration options, refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
documentation included with your server for additional information.
Root Password
At the New Password prompt, establish a password for the root user account. If the
root password is not successfully changed at this time, the default root password is
set to
Invent .
Networking
Configure the primary NIC at the Setup Networking screen.
Time Zone
Select the appropriate time zone for your server at the Configure Timezones screen.
You also have the option of operating the hardware clock based on your local time
zone or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Setting the hardware clock to GMT is
recommended to avoid any problems during daylight savings time changes.
User Information
Select Network Information Service (NIS), Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP), or Hesiod Directory Services at the User Information screen.
Password Authentication
Establish the password authentication settings for the server at the Authentication
Configuration screen. The recommended default settings enable the use of Shadow
and MD5 passwords.
