described. For instance, to rename the ‘.key.3020’ file after copying from a windows machine,
type mv key.3020 .key.3020 at the command prompt.
e.) It is now most likely necessary to change the permissions, owner and group assignments of the
files. Change the owner of the files by entering chown root .*.serialNum again, where
‘serialNum’ is the 4-digit serial number. Change the group of the file by entering chgrp root
.*.serialNum
at the command prompt. Finally, the permissions need to be set to ‘rw-rw-
rw-’. Do this by entering
chmod 666 .*.serialNum at the command prompt. Finally enter
ls -la and ensure the two security files have the following attributes:
rw-rw-rw- root root modifedDateTime .key.serialNum
rw-rw-rw- root root modifedDateTime .bolt.serialNum
f.) If the files do not have the above attributes. Go back through the directions and make sure all
steps were followed correctly.
3. At this point, we are ready to initialize the M300 with the new security codes. First, ensure that
the security is not running by entering slay security at the command prompt. Next, start the
Security program by clicking on the icon in the Desktop Manager under the SEA tab. (See
“Getting Familiar with Photon” on page 27). Alternatively, to start from a shell, enter Security
&
at the command prompt.
4. When the Security application begins, you may or may not see anything in the text boxes. First,
enter the device name that the i-Button adapter is connected to in the Port field. For instance, if
you have the adapter connected to serial port one, you would enter /dev/ser1 in this field.
5. Next, in the Serial Number field, enter the 4-digit serial number of the i-Button as described
above. Hit Enter. All of the codes for the software, as well as the Password, Client Name and the
i-Button serial number should be displayed. If the codes, password, client, etc. are not displayed
after pressing Enter, then there is a problem. This can be an invalid ‘.bolt’ or ‘.key’ file, or an
incorrect serial number.
6. Click on the Save button on the menu bar. This will create the security configuration file
(security.cfg).
7. Use the ‘system’ utility to check the M300 security by typing system -check at the command
prompt. The system utility will point out problems with install, like missing directories and
invalid permission settings for files. Here is a sample output of the ‘system’ utility.
