Checking For The Correct Software; Configuring The Workstation - Silicon Graphics Origin200 Owner's Manual

Checking for the Correct Software

The UUCP subsystem contains the program cu and several configuration files necessary
for checking for the correct software. To make sure the UUCP subsystem is installed,
enter the following command at a shell prompt:
versions | grep uucp
If the UUCP subsystem is installed, a line like this appears:
I eoe.sw.uucp 11/26/96 UUCP Utilities
If you do not see the above line, the UUCP subsystem is not installed on your
workstation. You should install or eoe.sw.uucp now.
Once the UUCP subsystem is installed, continue with the next section, "Configuring the
Workstation."
Configuring the Workstation
Follow these steps to configure the workstation:
1. Log in as root (or use su to invoke superuser privileges) on the workstation that you
will connect to the Origin200 server.
2. Use a text editor (such as vi, jot, or emacs) to edit the file /etc/inittab.
Find the line that corresponds to the serial port you wish to use on the
workstation. For example, this line corresponds to port 2:
t2:23:off:/sbin/getty -N ttyd2 co_9600 # port 2
You can use any port you wish on the workstation, but keep in mind that
Note:
port is the workstation's alternate console port.

If the third field in the line is the word "off" (as in the example above), exit the
file and continue with step 3.
If the third field is the word "on," change it to "off." Then save the file, exit, and
at the shell prompt enter this command:
telinit q
