To Preconfigure the Locale Using NIS+

This procedure assumes the NIS+ domain is set up. Setting up the NIS+ domain is documented in the Solaris Naming Administration Guide.

1. Log in to a name server as superuser or as a user in the NIS+ administration group.

2. Type this nistbladm command:

   # nistbladm -D access=og=rmcd,nw=r -c locale_tbl name=SI,nogw= locale=,nogw= comment=,nogw= locale.org_dir.`nisdefaults -d`

   A locale table is created.

3. Add an entry to the locale table by typing this nistbladm command:

   # nistbladm -a name=domain_name locale=locale comment=comment locale.org_dir.`nisdefaults -d`

   domain_name	Is either the domain name or a specific system name for which you want to preconfigure a default locale.
   locale	Is the locale you want installed on the system and used on the desktop after the system is rebooted. Appendix B, Locale Values contains a list of valid locales.
   comment	Is the comment field. Use double quotation marks to begin and end comments that are longer than one word.

   Note -

   Locales are available on the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition or Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 Intel Platform Edition CD.

   ---

   Systems specified by domain or individually in the locale table are now set up to use the default locale. The default locale you specified is used during installation and by the desktop after the system is rebooted.
