" Enable the Tru64 UNIX host you are installing the product on for multicast routing.
Enter the following command to check whether the host is enabled for multicast
routing:
/usr/sbin/netstat -nr
The following entry should be present in the routing table:
224/8 host_IP_address
If the entry is not present, log in as root, and enter the following command to enable
multicast routing:
route add [-net] "224.0.0.0" -netmask "240.0.0.0" hostname -dev tu0
" If you have more than one server in the tree, the time on all the network servers
should be synchronized. Use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize time. If
you want to synchronize time on Tru64 UNIX systems with NetWare servers, use
TIMESYNC.NLM 5.09 or later.
" If you are installing a secondary server, all the replicas in the partition that you install
the product on should be in the On state.
" For the first NDS installation on Tru64 UNIX systems, the administrator needs the
Write rights to the Tree partition to update the schema.
NOTE:
The [Root] object, used in earlier versions of NDS, has been renamed to Tree
in NDS eDirectory 8.5.
" For secure NDS eDirectory operations, you will need the NICI Foundation Key file
(filename.nfk, for example, 01234567.nfk), which is available in the license diskette
that ships with NDS eDirectory. Copy the .nfk file to the /var directory on the Tru64
UNIX system. If you do not use the NICI Foundation Key, you will not be able to
create Certificate Authority and Key Material objects.
Installing Account Management on Tru64 UNIX
Use the nds-install utility to install NDS components on Tru64 UNIX systems. This utility is
located in the Setup directory on the CD for the Tru64 UNIX platform. The utility adds the
required packages based on what components you choose to install. After adding the
required packages, the installed NDS component will be configured based on inputs
provided in the ndscfg.inp file.
IMPORTANT:
unless a different value is specified for the editor environment variable. If you do not want
to use vi to edit the configuration input file, you can specify the name of the preferred editor
as the value for the editor environment variable.
The NDS configuration input file (ndscfg.inp) opens in the default editor vi,
