Linux-Install linux host

Install and configure the Linux host

All the following tasks are carried out by the install process :

untar the distribution-specific install tarball
move to the LAAAD distribution directory
act as root
execute the ./START script which will prompt you to install dependencies (notably pam_mount)
if this fails download and install dependencies and resume from step 4
laaad rpm is now installed and laaad launched
later, execute laaad from terminal

run Pre-check to ensure that all requirements are met
move to Data tab and enter data (some parameters can be auto-detected from the Data/Detect menu)

list users from Users/List users menu as a test
run Install PAM from PAM menu or wizard button if network-defined users are to interactively log on to this host
uncheck Test Install if nothing abnormal is detected, and run Install PAM again

A shell interface is also available.

# ./install.sh
# ./install.sh -f <settings file>

A settings file (as pointed to by the -f command line parameter) holds the parameters. By default, laaad attemps to read a laaad.settings file.
