4.1.4 Updating System Configuration

Follow these steps to change system configuration attributes:

1. Follow these links:

   • System->System Administration->System Setup

   The System Setup screen appears:

   

2. Enter or select values for the following attributes, as needed:

   • Username of TotalNET administrator -- The UNIX name of the TAS administrator. The TAS administrator must own the TAS home directory. This attribute defaults to totalnet.

   • Start TAS during boot -- The option to cause TAS processes to start when the operating system starts.

   • Disk free interval -- The number of seconds you wish to pass between recalculations of free disk space by the TNdiskfree program. This attribute defaults to 600 seconds--one recalculation every 10 minutes.

   • UNIX print spooler -- If the UNIX system has more than one spooler installed, the full path name of the UNIX print spooler program you want to use.

   • UNIX password program -- The UNIX program for changing users' UNIX passwords. If your system uses NIS, select yppasswd; if it uses NIS+, select nispasswd; if it uses neither, select passwd.

   • Host character set -- Part of the scheme for mapping file names across realms. This attribute designates the name of the character set used by the host. It defaults to builtin-iso-latin-1--the built-in version of the ISO-8859-1 character set, a superset of ASCII.

   • Host packaging style -- The field that designates the way TAS puts together, within a byte-stream, the character set used by the host. Select one of the following: default to indicate that the Host character set value determines the packaging style, single if the host character set contains only one-byte characters, euc if it contains one-, two- and three-byte characters, shift-jis if it contains only one- and two-byte characters.

3. Click Submit.

   The Updating System Setup screen appears.

4. Click OK.
