Installing SKIP Binaries

1. Mount the CD-ROM and type:

   volcheck

   ---

   Note -

   If you are not using vold on your system, type # mount -F hsfs -oro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0/mnt The device name or the mount point or both depends on your local system configuration.

   ---

2. Go to the directory on the CD-ROM for your OS

   Solaris operating environment for the SPARC Platform:

   cd /cdrom/cdrom0/sparc

   Solaris operating environment for the Intel Platform:

   cd /cdrom/cdrom0/x86

   ---

   Note -

   If you have mounted the CD-ROM manually, replace /cdrom/cdrom0 with /mnt.

   ---

3. Use the standard Solaris operating environment pkgadd command to add all packages:

   pkgadd -d `pwd`

4. Add /usr/sbin to your PATH variable:

   PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH export PATH

5. Initialize the SKIP directories by issuing the command:

   skiplocal -i

6. Generate a secret and a public certificate locally by issuing the command:

   skiplocal -k

7. Add SKIP to your network interface by issuing the command:

   skipif -a

8. Reboot the machine.

9. Enable SKIP and configure IP encryption with one other host:

   skiphost -a default default IP traffic is unencrypted skiplocal -x prints the skiphost command to check info others need to run to talk to us skiplocal -x| mail Friend@remote.host

   Friend@remote.host should issue these commands as well. Once the corresponding mail is received, verify out-of-band (for example, over the telephone) that the received mail matches the mail that was sent. Then Friend executes the received skiphost command.

10. Turn SKIP on:

    skiphost -o on enable SKIP
