How to configure an SGI Origin system out of the box
SGI ships machines in an abysmal state, I didn't even plug our Origin 300 cluster into the net until I turned off most services, and I missed a bunch of stuff. Here's a step by step of how to configure one.
- chkconfig all services off
- edit /etc/inetd.conf, turn everything off (except sgi_fam?)
- run pwconv, make shadow passwords
- vi /etc/shadow, lock all empty passwords
- install OpenSSH?, now on freeware disks (now in OS?)
- edit /etc/sys_id and /etc/hosts add ip and hostname
- edit /etc/resolv.conf
- edit /etc/TIMEZONE and set the date and time
- edit /etc/config/ipaliases.options and fix the netmask:
eg0 hostname netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 136.145.54.255 - reboot
- fix roff, so man pages work. See: HowToFixSgisBrokenMan
