Emergency Start Instructions

System Hangs and You Cannot Access the Machine

If your system hangs when you are configuring SKIP and you do not have access to your machine, reboot your machine in the single-user mode and become root.

1. With a text editor, such as vi, edit the file acl.network_interface in the /etc/skip/ directory so that line

   skiphost -i <network_interface>-o on

   reads

   skiphost -i network_interface -o off

   This will to disable SKIP.

2. Reboot your machine normally to clean up the file system.

3. You, then, as root, may reconfigure your access control list as your security policy dictates.

System Hangs, But You Still Can Become Root

1. If your system hangs when you are configuring SKIP and you still have access to your machine and can become root, enter

   # skiphost -o off -i network_interface

   This will disable SKIP on the network interface

2. Then, as root, you may reconfigure your access control list as your security policy dictates.
