Installing ThinLinc 1.4.1 on Solaris 10
=======================================

This instruction contains some additional information about installing
ThinLinc on Solaris 10, and should be used in conjunction with the
User Guide.

It is assumed that you are installing ThinLinc from a local CD-ROM,
using the Bash shell. The companion CD should be installed. It's
recommended that you install all available Solaris updates.


1. Change the SSH configuration to allow TCP forwarding. This is done
by setting "AllowTcpForwarding yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. After
this change, restart ssh.


2. Install "lsof", which is available from
ftp://lsof.itap.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof.


3. Insert the ThinLinc CD-ROM and change directory:

# cd /cdrom/tl-1.4.1-server/


4. Webmin must be installed manually. To do this, execute:

# pushd extras-solaris
# pkgadd -d webmin-1.230-1.pkg
# popd


5. Make sure Python can be found by all tools:

# ln -s /opt/sfw/bin/python /usr/bin


6. Before starting the installation program, make sure your
    environment uses english messages:

# export LC_ALL=C
# export LC_MESSAGES=C


7. Start the installation:

# cd serverkit-solaris
# ./install-server


8. After the installation is finished, adapt the PAM
configuration. This is done by editing /etc/pam.conf. All lines
beginning with "thinlinc" should be removed and replaced with:

thinlinc    auth       requisite   pam_authtok_get.so.1
thinlinc    auth       required    pam_unix_auth.so.1
thinlinc    session    required    pam_unix_session.so.1


9. The ThinLinc session dialog requires GTK+ 1.2. To make sure it
finds this library, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable:

# /opt/thinlinc/bin/tl-config /vsmagent/default_environment/LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib


10. Restart VSM agent:

# /etc/init.d/vsmagent restart
