Installing RGS 70
7. If the PAM system has been configured to use custom PAM authentication modules then you may need to
manually configure the PAM module that is used by the RGS Sender. You should consult your Linux
documentation when configuring PAM. If you are using a custom PAM authentication module called
“libpam_custom.1” you may need to edit the PAM configuration file "/etc/pam.d/rgsender” to specify
the PAM authentication module to be used by the RGS Sender. For example, you may need to add the
following line to the file "/etc/pam.d/rgsender”.
auth optional /lib/security/pam_custom.1
8. The RGS Sender will not accept remote connections when a DNS name inquiry does not resolve to a
valid/active IP address—the Sender expects to fully resolve the machine name to an active network
connection IP. To test this, the command hostname -i should report an active IP address for the qualified
hostname. Failure to resolve this address from a qualified hostname may result in remote connection errors.
One way to address the hostname/IP name resolution is to edit the /etc/hosts file, and bind the machine
name to its proper IP address as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
88.1.89.122 blade2 blade2.bigmoney.com
9. If the Sender is being installed on the HP ProLiant xw460c Blade Workstation, the blade workstation needs
to be rebooted into User Mode after Sender installation is complete. For information on selecting User
Mode, refer to the document Administrator’s Guide for Linux on the HP Blade Workstation Solution,
