5.4. Basic system setup

Aptus Configurator will ask you a few questions about the basic setup of the system.

5.4.1. Starting required services

The following services are checked by Aptus Configurator to see they have been started properly. They include, TFTP server (tftpd), NFS server (nfs) and Time server (ntpd) .

5.4.2. NIS server

To centralize you user account and using netgroup authentication, NIS system is required. Some users may have an existing NIS server such that they don't want the Aptus server to be the master NIS server, in this case you want to say "No". If unsure, say "Yes".
