Copy Configuration Files for Distribution to Clients

1. Create a directory that cannot be deleted between reboots.

   Create it in an /export subdirectory, such as /export/clientfiles.

   # mkdir /export/clientfiles

2. Copy your modified label_encodings file to the /export... directory.

   # cd /etc/security/tsol # cp -p label_encodings /export/clientfiles

   ---

   Note -

   The -p option to the cp(1) command preserves the correct file permissions.

   ---

3. If you modified other files, copy them to the /export... directory.

   For example, a site that is using a modified tnrhtp file, DNS, and auditing might copy the following files:

   # cd /etc/security # cp -p audit_control audit_user audit_startup \ /export/clientfiles # # cd /etc/security/tsol # cp -p tnrhtp /export/clientfiles # # cd /etc # cp -p resolv.conf nsswitch.conf /export/clientfiles # ls /export/clientfiles audit_control audit_user nsswitch.conf audit_startup label_encodings resolv.conf tnrhtp
