(EN) Diskless Solaris x86 Part 6 : Small Tips

There are small tips for making diskless clients.

/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

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
