Trusted Solaris Label Administration

To Copy the label_encodings File from a Floppy Disk

  1. Assume the Security Administrator role in an ADMIN_HIGH workspace.

  2. Allocate the floppy device at ADMIN_HIGH.

    1. Highlight the name of the floppy device.

    2. Move the device to the Allocated Devices list.

    3. In the Update With field, type in ADMIN_HIGH.

    4. Click OK.

  3. Double-click the File Manager icon in the Front Panel.

  4. Using the File Manager, navigate to the desired destination directory.

  5. Chose Open Floppy from the File menu.

    The floppy disk folder displays.

  6. Highlight the icon for the label_encodings file.

  7. Drag the file from the floppy disk folder to the desired destination directory.

    If dragging the file to the /etc/security/tsol folder, make sure the file being dragged is not named label_encodings. Otherwise, by dropping the file, you will be attempting to overwrite the existing label_encodings file. Instead, copy the file onto the host, and then use the Check Encodings action to install the file, as described in "To Modify the label_encodings (4) File".

  8. On the floppy disk folder, chose Eject from the File menu.

  9. Initialize the new encodings file.

    Restart the Window Manager from the Workspace Menu.
