Set Up Administration by Serial Login in Trusted Extensions

Follow this procedure only if you do not have a desktop system with which to configure the headless system. This procedure is not secure.

Before You Begin

You must be superuser in single-user mode on the headless system. For a modicum of security, two people should be present while the system is being configured.

1. Allocate the serial port.

   For details, see the serial login procedure in Managing Devices in Trusted Extensions (Task Map) in Solaris Trusted Extensions Administrator’s Procedures.

2. Administer the system as superuser.
