smeserver-centos2sme

The latest version of smeserver-centos2sme is available in the SME repository, click on the version number(s) for more information.

Description

This allow you to install SME on a minimal CentOS. All you need is network enabled to install the rpm.

	Note:
	Important: ensure networking is working when installing minimal CentOS

Everything is automated, all you will need is to answer to :

- good old console configuration to set your server working as you want

- allowed IP and subnet to access the manager

Also, if you have setup and enabled,before rebooting, you will need to import your public RSA key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in order to be able to login after installation, otherwise default behaviour will apply.

The root password configured on the initial CentOS installation is copied to the admin user.

SSH access is open, with root login allowed, but only RSA SSH key allowed.

System restoration using usb disk is disable to avoid locking you out on reboot, as it is considered you might not have a KVM access, and only ssh access.

The following can be performed once install/reboot is complete to initiate restore of a backup as per default behaviour on first reboot.

config delete PasswordSet
config setprop bootstrap-console Run Yes
signal-event reboot

Be aware the first reboot might take awhile because of quota check...
