Point Of Service Configuration Files - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE 11 - SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT TOOL GUIDE 10-02-2009 Manual

However, if the terminal's hardware configuration information changes after its initial
registration, you must manually run either posldap2crconfig.pl --dumpall
or posAdmin --updateconfig to update the hardware configuration information
on the Branch Server. These commands regenerate the hardware configuration and
config.MAC files for all Point of Service terminals found in LDAP.
For more information on the posldap2crconfig.pl script, see Section B.3.4,
"posldap2crconfig.pl" (page 212).
For more information on the posAdmin --updateconfig command, see Ta-
ble 10.1, "posAdmin: General Command Line Options" (page 131).
7.6.2 Graphical Display Configuration
The graphics controller depends on the model type, so it can be derived from static tables.
Some Point of Service terminals can use multihead X configurations. The corresponding
xorg.conf files are manufacturer-specific and are not provided as part of the SUSE
Linux Enterprise Point of Service software package.
7.7 Point of Service Configuration
Files
Each Point of Service terminal has its own configuration file that it loads at boot time.
This configuration file determines which hardware drivers and images are loaded on
the Point of Service terminal. The following sections review the configuration files for
a Point of Service terminal booted from the network, from CD, and the configuration
file used to register new Point of Service terminals.
7.7.1 The config.MAC File
The config.MAC files (where MAC is the MAC address of the specific terminal)
contain the parameters required to configure a specific Point of Service terminal during
a network PXE or hard disk boot. Each Point of Service terminal has its own config
.MAC file on the Branch Server.
