System Administration Guide

How to Start Admintool

  1. Verify that the following prerequisites are met. To use Admintool, you must:

    • Have a bit-mapped display monitor. The Admintool software can be used only on a system with a console that is a bit-mapped screen such as a standard display monitor that comes with a Sun workstation.

    • Be running an X Window System, such as the OpenWindowsTM environment.

    • Be a member of the sysadmin group (group 14).

    If you want to perform administration tasks on a system with an ASCII terminal as the console, use Solaris commands instead.


    Note -

    The system being configured must be your local system. Use Solstice AdminSuite Serial Port Manager to configure serial ports on a remote system.


  2. Start Admintool.


    $ admintool &
    

    The Users main window is displayed.
