1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD drive of your machine, or download the software from the Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory Server 4.11 web site.
2. Log in as root or become superuser.
3. Change directory to /cdrom/<mountpoint> or to the directory to which you downloaded the software.
4. Start the pkgadd utility:
# /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d .

A list of installable packages is displayed.

5. Type in the numbers corresponding to the packages that you want to install.
If you want to use the NIS synchronization service, and the RADIUS server, install all packages. If you want to use the NIS synchronization service alone, install SUNWdsnis and SUNWdsutl. If you want to use the RADIUS server alone, install SUNWdsrad and SUNWdsutl.
6. If you want the directory server daemon, ns-slapd, to be automatically restarted whenever the machine is rebooted, copy the S72ns-slapd script from the /DS/Samples directory on the CD to the /etc/rc2.d directory. For consistency with all other scripts, you can create a link from /etc/rc2.d to /etc/init.d/ns-slapd.
If you have not installed the Directory Server under the default installation directory (/usr/netscape/server4), you must edit the S72ns-slapd script to modify the BASEDIR variable to point to the actual installation directory.
