ARP QNX System/Network Management Guide

Preparing a Field Server

The following lists some of the steps required to make a normal QNX node into a field server (node 1).
Manually remove soft-links (write a perl script!)
netinstall with all options set
remove soft-links to /usr/spool/mail and /usr/spool/queue
mkdir /usr/spool/mail  u+rwx,g+rwxs,o+rx  root:mail
mkdir /usr/spool/queue ...
 (These two should be handled by osupdate now...)

Manually place all the key configurations:
  netmap
  osupdate(s)
  update_net
  lpsrvr.1
  TCP/IP:
    hosts.equiv
    sendmail.cf
    hosts
    aliases
    resolv.conf
    services
    tcpip.init

Build a new boot image for node 1
  save old one in .altboot as usual
Modify sysinit.n for sysinit.1
