NEWCLIENT(8)NEWCLIENT(8)NAMEnewclient - /private directory builder
SYNOPSISnewclient [ -s server ] client ...
newclient-p disktype devroot
DESCRIPTION
The newclient command builds the /private directory for NetBoot clients
of the local machine. A NetBoot client uses the local filesystem as
its root filesystem via NFS. newclient is also used to configure the
/private directory during the builddisk process.
The first form of the command is used to build new client directories.
client is the name of the client you are building this directory for.
The -s option will cause server to be used as the name of the server in
the client's /etc/fstab file.
The second form of the command takes an existing /private directory and
prepares it to be used in a bootable system. Before any modifications
are made, /private is copied into /usr/template/client on the new disk
to be used as a template for new client partitions. The disktype
parameter specifies the type of disk the new /private is on, and
devroot is the path to where that new disk is currently mounted.
FILES
/private/etc/fstab* Fstab files for different disks.
/private/vm/swapfile Swapfile that gets preallocated.
/usr/template/client New client template directory.
