Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

To Set Up Remote CDE Login to a Headless System

If you are connecting to a headless system from a Trusted Solaris host, the serial port must be allocated before it can be used. See the serial login procedure in "Managing Devices (Tasks)" in Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures.

  1. After the headless system is installed, boot it into single-user mode.

  2. Use the vi command to add the Trusted Solaris desktop system to the /etc/hosts file on the headless system.

    For example, if a Trusted Solaris desktop system named admindesktop1 is going to be the configuring system, enter its name and IP address in the hosts file, as in:


    192.168.168.5 admindesktop1

  3. Use the vi command to add the Trusted Solaris desktop system to the /etc/security/tsol/tnrhdb file on the headless system.

    For example, 


    192.168.168.5:tsol

  4. On the headless system, add the entries to the kernel cache with the tnctl command.


    # tnctl -H

  5. On the Trusted Solaris desktop system, in an administrative role, use the Solaris Management Console Security Families tool to enter the headless system's information in the local hosts and trnrhdb files.

    For example, if the headless system is named headless1 with an IP address of 192.168.168.111, the entries would look like:


    192.168.168.111 headless1   # entry in the hosts file
192.168.168.111:tsol   # entry in the tnrhdb file

  6. On the Trusted Solaris desktop system, add the entries to the kernel cache with the tnctl command.


    $ tnctl -H

  7. On the headless system, exit single-user mode and let the system complete the boot process.

  8. Log out of the Trusted Solaris desktop system, then on the Login Screen choose Options --> Remote Login.

  9. Type in the name of the headless system, and the screen displays "Welcome to headless-system.

    For example, if you are connecting to a system named headless1, the screen displays "Welcome to headless1".

  10. Type install for the user name, and type the password for install when prompted.

  11. When the install user's workspace appears, assume the root role.

  12. See "Client Configuration Tasks" for how to configure a Trusted Solaris system, and Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures for how to administer a Trusted Solaris system.
