Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

Check and Install the label_encodings File

The Failed Cross Reference Format should be the same on every host in your domain. The Failed Cross Reference Format is responsible for preparing, checking, and maintaining the label_encodings file.


Note -

The default label_encodings file is useful for demos, but it is not a good choice for use by a customer site. However, if you plan to use it, you can skip this step.


You will use a copy of the label_encodings file on the NIS+ clients.

If you are familiar with label encodings files, you can use the following procedure. However, if you are not familiar with label encodings files, read the requirements and follow the procedures in Trusted Solaris Label Administration.

  1. Follow the procedure in "How to Install a Label Encodings File".


    Caution - Caution -

    You must successfully complete this step before continuing or the installation will fail.


  2. Set up a copy of the label_encodings file for the NIS+ clients in "Copy Configuration Files for Distribution to Clients".
