Preparing to Install from a CD-ROM

To install the Trusted Solaris version of SSP 3.3 shipped on the Trusted Solaris Supplement CD, you need to set up the CD-ROM. The following set of procedures properly allocates and mounts the CD-ROM for installing the Trusted Solaris SSP 3.3 software, and enables the admin role to execute the commands on the CD.

Prepare the CD-ROM Device

1. Log in to the SSP as a user who can assume the system administrator role, hereafter called the admin role.

2. In the admin role, follow the procedure in Setting up a CD-ROM.

Check the prof_attr Setting in the nsswitch.conf File

In the admin role, use the Name Service Switch action in the System_Admin folder to make sure the nsswitch.conf(4) entry for the prof_attr database has an appropriate entry for your configuration.

The following example shows the correct /etc/nsswitch.conf prof_attr entry for an SSP that is a NIS+ client:

prof_attr: files nisplus
