Configuring Preboot Services Imaging Servers in Linux
In Preboot Services, the daemons do not use switches. Instead, to configure a daemon to do
something that is not a default, you need to edit the configuration files.
You can edit configuration files while the daemon is running, because they are only read when the
daemon starts. Therefore, after editing the file you must restart the daemon for the changes to take
effect.
For more information on the daemon configuration files, see
page
621.
The following sections explain how to configure the following ZENworks Linux Management
imaging servers:

"Configuring the Novell-pbserv Daemon" on page 375
"Configuring Novell-zmgprebootpolicy" on page 375
"Configuring the DHCP Server" on page 375
Configuring the TFTP Server
It is seldom necessary to change the default TFTP server configuration values. If you need to change
them, use the following procedure:
1 Open the following file in an editor:
/etc/opt/novell/novell-tftp.conf
2 Edit the configuration settings per instructions within the file.
3 Save the changes.
4 In a shell console, enter the following command:
/etc/init.d/novell-tftp restart
Configuring the Proxy DHCP Server
The Proxy DHCP server provides PXE devices with the information that they require to be able to
connect to the Preboot Services system.
Use the following steps to modify the settings of novell-proxydhcp:
1 Open the following file in an editor:
/etc/opt/novell/novell-proxydhcp.conf
2 Edit the configuration settings per instructions within the file.
3 Save the changes.
