Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

To Set Up Administration by Remote Login

Follow this procedure only if you do not have a desktop system with which to configure the headless system and you plan to administer the headless system via rlogin or telnet. This procedure is not secure.

  1. Follow the steps for "To Set Up Administration by Serial Login".

  2. On the headless system, modify the /etc/security/user_attr entry for the install user to include the profile Convenient Authorizations.


    install...;profiles=...Primary Administrator,Convenient Authorizations;

    The Convenient Authorizations profile enables the install user to log in remotely.

  3. On the headless system, lock the install account when it is no longer needed by editing the /etc/shadow file.
