(EN) Diskless Solaris x86 Part 6 : Small Tips

There are small tips for making diskless clients.

Initial settings of the Diskless Clients ディスクレスクライアントの初期設定

/export/root/clone/Solaris_10/i86pc is a base dir of / (root) directory for diskless clients.
You can customize initial settings of diskless clients to edit this directory.
For example, default settings of /etc/default/init (/export/root/clone/Solaris_10/i86pc/etc/default/init ) is as follows.

TZ=PST8PDT
CMASK=022

In default, dtlogin(login menu) are in English. But, to change as follows, login menu in Japanese is shown without customize after making diskless clients by "smosservice add" . 

TZ=Japan
CMASK=022
LANG=ja


root password is empty in default settings of diskless client

In default, smosservice does not set root password of the diskless client. So root password is empty in the first boot time.
But, you cannot use above-method to set password.
If you want to set password of root as default. After making diskless client by smosservice, change /etc/shadow file of the diskless client by yourself.
If you are okay that root password of diskless client is same as root password of the server, copying server's /etc/shadow to the client is easy way to set root password.

# cp /etc/shadow /export/root/w1100z/etc/shadow
