CREATE_ROOT(8)          COMMAND REFERENCE          CREATE_ROOT(8)



NAME
     create_root - generate root partition for a diskless client

SYNOPSIS
     create_root clientname yptype rootpath homepath server
     domain

DESCRIPTION
     create_root does the necessary manipulations to customize
     the prototype diskless client root tree for a particular
     client.  This includes copying the prototype tree into the
     client's rootpath and customizing the administration files
     in the client's /etc directory.

Arguments
     Running the command with less than the following six
     arguments will list the usage message.

     clientname
          Name of the client workstation whose root you are
          creating.

     yptype
          Yellow pages mode of operation for the client and is
          one of master, slave, client, or none. Typical values
          are client or none.

     rootpath
          Full pathname on the server where the client's root
          tree will be installed.  Example value is
          /export/<clientname>.

     homepath
          Path being used for user home directories and is
          typically none. If another server is providing this
          service, then the path may have the servername and
          colon prepended, as in servername:/home.

     server
          Hostname of the server machine.

     domain
          Yellow pages domainname for the client. If yptype is
          none, then domain can be anything, i.e., meaningless.

FILES
     /etc/create_root
