Hello everyone, I've setup an unattended automatic FreeBSD-5.3 install server. Clients boot via PXE and receive the OS in around 15 minutes using a sysinstall(8) script. I need to perfom post-install configuration, so I wrote a post_install.sh shell script which is called at the end of the sysinstall(8) script. My problem is that I can't get my post-install script to modify rc.conf(5) because sysinstall(8) re-writes the file and removes=20 my configurations (all lines from rc.conf(5) starts with `#REMOVE' ). The sysinstall(8) man page only says: This utility may edit the contents of /etc/rc.conf, /etc/hosts, and /etc/resolv.conf as necessary to reflect changes in the network configuration. How can I prevent or circumvent this "feature" of sysinstall??? Any help would be really appreciated. Here are the files: # From sysinstall(8) install.cfg: # command=3D/stand/post_install.sh system # From /stand/post_install.sh # cat <<- "END" > /tmp/a # rc.conf # # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # # David Robillard, December 13th, 2004 =20 check_quotas=3D"YES" # Check quotas. hostname=3D"hostname.domain.com" # Hostname. ifconfig_bge0=3D"inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" # Configure NIC bge0. keyrate=3D"normal" # Set normal keyboard repeatrate. nisdomainname=3D"NO" # We don't run NIS. saver=3D"blank" # Blank screen when idle. scrnmap=3D"NO" # Screen map in /usr/share/syscons/scrnmaps/* sshd_enable=3D"YES" # Start sshd(8). usbd_enable=3D"YES" # Start usbd(8). tcp_drop_synfin=3D"YES" # Prevent OS finger printing. sendmail_enable=3D"NO" # Bind sendmail(8) to locahost only. syslogd_enable=3D"YES" # Start syslogd(8). syslogd_flags=3D"-ss" # Receive syslogd(8) from = local machine only. inetd_enable=3D"NO" # Don't run inetd(8). icmp_drop_redirect=3D"YES" # Drop ICMP redirect. icmp_log_redirect=3D"YES" # Log dropped ICMP redirect. clear_tmp_enable=3D"YES" # Clear /tmp at startup. update_motd=3D"NO" # Don't update motd(5) at startup. =20 # EOF END mv /tmp/a /root/rc.conf cp /root/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf Cheers, David -- David Robillard UNIX systems administrator david.robillard@notarius.com +1 514 966 0122 -- David Robillard UNIX systems administrator david.robillard@notarius.com +1 514 966 0122
