f. You return to the Linux prompt for the server blade located in front slot 1.
g. Repeat steps 4a. through step 4f. for the remaining server blades, except the blade
in front slot 1.
h. After you have re-configured all blades except the blade in front slot 1, you re-
configure it without using Telnet – you are already logged on to the blade in front
slot 1.
CAUTION Root access to Telnet has been enabled to make it easy to
configure the server blades. Because Telnet has security problems
surrounding password encryption, HP advises the local customer
IT engineers to turn off root access to Telnet after the server blades
have been configured for the site network and the customer has
customized the Debian Linux OS for their particular needs
including the creation of user accounts.
i To turn root Telnet off, edit the /etc/pam.d/login file as follows:
# vi /etc/pam.d/login
Un-comment the following line, so it appears as:
auth requisite pam_securetty.so
Next, refer back to chapter two in the HP Blade Server bh7800 Installation Guide. Begin
with step three, entitled, “LAN connectivity to the bh7800” in chapter two to continue
with the installation.
